Smoothing an image multiple times fast

[huhuhujujuju]

Hi,
I need a fast way to smooth an image multiple times fast.
The way that i am currently using works like this(written in c#)
NOTE i am only smoothing the R value of the RGB color

for(int i=1;i<height-1;i++)
{
   for(int j=1;j<width-1;j++)
   {
      int n1 = image[j,i-1].R;
      int n2 = image[j,i+1].R;
      int n3 = image[j-1,i].R;
      int n4 = image[j + 1, i].R;
      int n5 = image[j,i].R;
      image[j,i].R = (n1+n2+n3+n4+n5)/5;
   }
}
 

the problem is that i need to do it 150 times a second(5 times per frame, 30fps) and i need to be able to do it for 10-20 images(the images are small... around 6500 pixels total)
my current implementation can handle 1 image, the frame rate is over 30fps but with 5 images it drops below 10fps

NOTE when i say image, it doesn't mean that it has to be an image or a bitmap it can be a two dimensional integer array or even a 1 dimensional representation of a two dimensional integer array

NOTE2 i need a way to do it a lot faster so it doesn't have to be as precise as my algorithm

basically what i need is a fast way to smooth an image so it looks similar to the image that has been smoothed 5 times by my algorithm(since i am smoothing it each frame)

thx in advance :)

Well, one improvement is to stop recreating the variables in the loop and just do this:

image[j,i].R = (image[j,i-1].R + image[j,i+1].R + image[j-1,i].R + image[j+1,i].R + image[j,i].R)/5

And if speed is more important than quality, you can probably skip every other pixel.
