here's a little tip i read over at samurize on one of the forums
"Looks like you gain a little bit of memory when you take photoshop or any image software that supports png's and make the images the exact size you will be using for sections. If you are going to use 82x82 like I am I placed a dir under the image dir called 82 and changed the size of the images and placed them there. Screen drawing is a memory hog on all systems and this will speed up image and dll processing a little."
just thought i would share this mostly for people with slower systems.
