Hello!

This is not really a "bug" - but people will still love you for this enhancement!

As I found out, pixmap conversion is pretty slow...because access to pixel memory is done bytewise. Some of the conversions found in brl.mod/pixmap.mod/pixel.bmx (not all of them) could, however, be rewritten to access pixel memory quadwise which would speed up the process significantly!

see http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=89973 for a discussion (with a code example at the end)

Mark!

Sorry, but forget about spending your time doing minor optimizations of tested and running code: I recompiled my stuff without debugging support and it became much faster!

Sorry for bothering you!

This probably isn't the right place for it, then. ;)
