[PySide] image format for best performance

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

Hi all,

is there a recommended image format to use to get best performance out 
of QT?
I've got some animated widgets (sliding docks etc.) that are populated 
with several small icons (currently 8bit pngs).
Since the animation is a bit jerky I will have to go hunting for ways 
top optimise the code, and thought the image format for the icons would 
be a good place to start.

Any experience and/or recommendations for this?

Cheers,
frank
