That can be true.... Bmp contains no form of compression... This can speed up the process since decompression can eat up more time when your processor is slow... Alas when you create a BIG production, working with BMP is hell since they eat us so many diskspace....

All true is that when Blitz loads such pictures it's all converted into the same formal that Blitz uses for its memory maintanance, so once the file has been loaded, there's no diffrence at all in these pictures... Not even if you create your own picture format...
