Comment (by MatthewRuddy):

 Hey all, just thought I'd throw my own solution into the mix. I've
 developed a function that replicates Timthumb resizing exactly for
 seamless integration. I found the OP vt_resize function wouldn't crop the
 image in the same way to the exact dimensions specified.

 I've been developing a slideshow plugin, so I needed images to be resized
 and cropped to exactly the dimensions I specified (just like Timthumb). I
 actually took the crop positioning calculations straight from Timthumb
 itself. You can have a look at the Github page below I've created for it.

 It has an alternative functions for Wordpress 3.5, which has added handy
 new image manipulation API. That said, I did find the new API to be
 slightly slower than the function provided for older Wordpress versions,
 but that's probably because there is a lot more going on (checks for GD or
 Imagemagik, etc).
