title: What is the fastest way of loading and re-sizing an image?
body: <p>I need to display thumbnails of images in a given directory. I use TFileStream to read the image file before loading the image into an image component. The bitmap is then resized to the thumbnail size, and assigned to a TImage component on a TScrollBox.</p>
  
  <p>It seems to work ok, but slows down quite a lot with larger images.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a faster way of loading (image) files from disk and resizing them?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, Pieter</p>
