To add to what others have said. It's usualy best to use a compressed format instead
of a bitmap. 
JPG and PNG are good choices. It can realy shorten the parsing of the file. It can
also prevent the 
use of the swap file by reducing the memory useage, and that can have a dramatic
effect to the 
parcing and render time.
