There are two kinds of thoose stamps: colorable and tintable

tintable are as you say heavy on processor.

colorable are light on processor and disckspace, some of them can be
better compressed thought if they were a transparency over a full black
layer like stamps/symbols/shapes/pawprint.png
instead a transparency over a draw like
stamps/symbols/alphabets/asl/asl_a.png

The gain on disckspace when compressing will be about 10% for each
image.
Not sure if this gain will be seen in memory usage as tuxpaint takes
just the alpha channel of colorable images.
