Oh, missed that lanczos2 part:

>> maxNumCompThreads(1);

>> timeit(@()imresize(im,[320,200],'lanczos2','Antialiasing',false))

ans =

    0.0146
>> maxNumCompThreads(6);

>> timeit(@()imresize(im,[320,200],'lanczos2','Antialiasing',false))

ans =

    0.0049
Since MATLAB tries to do most of the computation in double precision, its harder to extract much from SIMD.
