	# Plug-and-Play fastImageCopyResampled function replaces much slower imagecopyresampled.
	# Just include this function and change all "imagecopyresampled" references to "fastImageCopyResampled".
	# Typically from 30 to 60 times faster when reducing high resolution images down to thumbnail size using the default quality setting.

	#
	# Optional "quality" parameter (defaults is 3). Fractional values are allowed, for example 1.5. Must be greater than zero.
	# Between 0 and 1 = Fast, but mosaic results, closer to 0 increases the mosaic effect.
	# 1 = Up to 350 times faster. Poor results, looks very similar to imagecopyresized.
	# 2 = Up to 95 times faster.  Images appear a little sharp, some prefer this over a quality of 3.
	# 3 = Up to 60 times faster.  Will give high quality smooth results very close to imagecopyresampled, just faster.
	# 4 = Up to 25 times faster.  Almost identical to imagecopyresampled for most images.
	# 5 = No speedup. Just uses imagecopyresampled, no advantage over imagecopyresampled.
