Hartmut, I saw this on c.t.t. Shall I attempt a merge of yours and my patches? Taco Hartmut Henkel wrote:

Is there a way to ommit this delay? Without converting all PNGs to other format?
If you compile from source, maybe check
http://www.circuitwizard.de/pdftex/patch5
which should read much faster, if the PNG files are of the right type. The problem with this rough patch is that it's now getting obsolete as it doesn't (yet) support new transparency features to come.
