as an aside: Do you have enough memory to handle these files?
4.5 minutes sounds like a long time, maybe there is some swapping
going on. You might also experiment with different file formats.
And should you have 3+GB of memory available you might use 1GB
for a RAM disk.

Of course, not having to reload the image for each frame
would be best ;)
