.net cf: BMP/PNG & Speed

Hello Community

I have a project where I have to use some bitmaps. The space is no problem
on the device, but I have some fear that the startup speed is slow when
using too many bitmaps.
So should I use BMP instead of PNG? PNG would be smaller, but bmp should
load faster, is that correct? PNG are converted first before displaying (I
use it in Me.Paint()

Thanks

James

James,

It seems logical that if you have to convert the PNG to a BMP before you use
it, that would take longer, but why not test to be sure?
