I have found that for scanned engravings, where I often scale down to 11% or smaller, that GIMP 2.6 is not only much faster, but usually has much better results. Sometimes I scale down part-way with Lancsoz and then the rest of the way with cubic, though, to minimise artefacts. Applying a convolution filter (a blur, in this case) before scaling down, or using Value Propagate with "more black" (for an engraving or woodcut) can also make a really huge improvement sometimes.
