[A.Cicak]

most often better is to use more smaller files

  When loading 24bit bitmap surfaces is it more efficient to load one giant (10MB+) file or smaller (<1MB) files and switching between them?  You would load all the smaller files before starting the game, but switch between them while the game is running.  Would the giant file take up too much system memory and slow the game down?  Or would the smaller files take too much time to switch between?  Thanks for your thoughts/help. 

  Brent
