[Pysdl-devel] Comparison of blit speed by file format

[David C. <D. C. <si...@te...>]

Ok, I've tried blitting the various file formats supported by
image_load() and image_load_type(). My results:

BMP: fine.
JPG: fine.
PNG: about 50% slower than bmps or jpgs.
PCX: good speed, same as bmps and jpgs, but odd palette (yellows were
blue)
TIFF: failed to create surface: "RuntimeError: unable to allocate SDL
surface" for image_load(), and "RuntimeError: unable to acquire file
info" for image_load_type().
PPM: untested
GIF: untested (my copy of the Gimp doesn't output these types)
