OK - sorry!

It's down to virtually nothing on my laptop but on "target hardware" (ie something like an Acer Aspire Revo) we're at 1/4 - 1/2 second or there abouts. It's very noticable when there's something scrolling around the screen that it pauses while a new picture loads.

I'll look at using PIL to resize the image before it gets to libavg. What's the constructor I should use with avg.Bitmap to let me load a string in to it? I tried avg.Bitmap() and avg.Bitmap(image from PIL as string) but neither work. I've only got what I have now avg.Bitmap(filename) working.

Cheers

Alex
