Directional dependence of re-slicing speed

Greetings,

My group uses ImageJ to process TIFF optical coherence tomography data and we do a lot of re-slicing of stacks. One thing that is always a pain is that re-slicing from the right or the left takes a tremendous amount of time compared to re-slicing from the top or bottom. A colleague discovered the workaround that rotating the stack 90 degrees, slicing from the "top", and then de-rotating the stack has the exact same effect as slicing from the side at a fraction of the required time. Would it be reasonable to adapt this "workaround" into the actual re-slice function? Is there any reason why doing so might be no-go? I would generally be willing to work on such a change, but to be frank, I'm not a Java person and I have no experience with the ImageJ codebase. I would much prefer to submit the idea to an official wishlist if there is one.

Thanks for your input.

Sincerely,
Conner
