Does anybody know if there is an overhead involved with using sprites and
bitmaps straight from the datafile? (uncompressed)

I suspect that it would be faster to copy all the images onto internal
bitmaps, but I've been quite lazy and it would mean a major overhaul of my
code!!!

Can anyone help me, as my game is slowly but surely grinding itself into the
floor...
