One fix to get reasonable quality thumbnails on macosx/macports (much better than the IL::NEAREST filter) is to blur the image before thumbnailing, try something like:

img.blur(2).thumbnail(100)

You may have to play around with parameters to #blur() to get the outcome you want.

Hopefully the macports DevIL maintainers will upgrade the package very soon, I’m convinced it’s the out of date macports package that’s responsible for the low quality scale filters on macosx.
