Why is there LoadPixmap and LoadPixmapPNG?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Why is there LoadPixmap and LoadPixmapPNG?

Well, I tested it, and using ExtractExt to determine the file extension before calling the appropriate LoadPixmap function then calling LoadImage on that isn't any faster than calling LoadImage normally.

So I'd like to know what Michael did that supposedly shaved seconds off his load time. :-)

Maybe all your images were bmp's or jpeg? Most of mine are png's.
