Hi,<br><br><br>The latter point is important because because image data is usually<br>where SDL apps memory goes and having them as 16-bit instead of 32-bits<br>can both almost halve the memory needs and (if the program was badly
<br>programmed to start with) almost double the performance. The<br>conversions can slow down the startup slightly though.</blockquote><div><br>Excellent point, Eero! I checked the source code of the application and found that a 32-bit surface is used there. So, I replaced it by 16-bit. I'll able test it tonight and let you know. Thanks again for your suggestion.

<br>used. For instructions, see:<br> <a href="http://maemo.org/development/tools/doc/valgrind">http://maemo.org/development/tools/doc/valgrind</a><br><br><br> - Eero<br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all">
