    Is there a way to speed up the image routines

There is a way, and we've sped up some of the routines a fair amount
(the multiplicative factor escapes me).  Fixed in next release.

    are there better ways to handle bitmaps that I am missing.

If you're working with a fixed format (e.g. "standard bitmap format"),
you can just get the data pointer and frob the bits directly.
