To illustrate the effect of the samplers when ROTATING images, I put together a comparative test. It shows the results of rotating a quite sharp image of astronauts near the space station---if I remember correctly---by 6.5 degrees with four GIMP methods, three GEGL methods and three candidate GEGL methods for which patches are provided in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619314 (The image is very sharp: I actually wonder if NASA sharpened it.) The results, named one.png to nin.png, are found in the tar archive http://web.cs.laurentian.ca/nrobidoux/misc/astronautsrotatetests.tgz To know which method was used to produce each image (and get runtimes for the GEGL methods), read the KEY text file.
