TiffReadScanline usually performs well.  Assuming infinite memory, it 
will never be faster than reading whole strips.  But TiffReadScanline 
may have access which allows it to (often) use memory more efficiently 
than reading the whole strip.  Libtiff also supports a strip-chopping 
feature which may allow large strips to be presented as a set of 
smaller strips (depending on compression type).
