title: Faster than PyGame for large image display?
body: <p>I'm using PyGame to display images (photos). For larger image sizes the load and convert process is slow (eg. taking 2-3 seconds for an image of size 6000x4485). The actual code that's slow is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>image = pg.image.load(fname).convert()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there an alternative library or method that'll give better performance? My target platforms are windows7 and os x, and I'm ok with separate solutions for each (although a single solution would be better).</p>
