Mat, after doing some profiling this week I learned that loading both pixbuf loaders is taking about 1/5 second longer than necessary (on David's really terrible netbook though, which means way less on real hardware) when xsplash first loads, so I was thinking to ask you if you could convert the bg images to PNG if it doesn't have a negative impact on the quality of the images.
