An image of another change which I'm working to push into the repo... This one swaps out one of our old image loading libraries from a 2012 version to a 2022 version of the same library. Notice the difference in the speed tests on thee two programs ran. Each is loading and freeing a PNG image 100 times.
The old library takes 10 seconds for the task.
The new library takes 7 seconds for the task.
Working with PNG images should be about 30% faster in future releases, if these changes pass review and we don't go a different route for image handling.
