Thank you Allan. The TRIGRID solution works, and is amazingly fast,
but unfortunately not quite what I want.

Saving the grid indices in my algorithm (nearestr and nearestchi) into
an array and re-using
them already helps a lot but occasionally they need to be re-
calculated.

Also my problem is "only" a displaying issue. The nearest neighbor
search was intended, though. I'm visualizing data from numerical
simulations and the points in "A" lie at the center of grid cells with
the value being representative for the whole cell. An interpolation
would give a wrong impression. If the grid is coarse, it should be
visible.

Thanks again,
Rainer
