According to my investigation of a better bilinear blending (lerp)
implementation the above formula is better to explicitely simplify
to

out->x = a->x + (b->x - a->x) * t;
out->y = a->y + (b->y - a->y) * t;

or even better to avoid floating point operations at all by replacing
them either by fixed point math or a mmx/sse helper, which is able
to considerably (x10) improve performance.
