- I am trying to display a 24bit .BMP file on 8 bit SVGA under
- MicroSoft Windows. I know that I could quantize the image down
- to 8 bits and set up a palette of 256 color, but I need something
- faster. If I use the Windows 3.1 "SetDIBitsToDevice" function
- on a 24 bit Device Independent Bitmap, the system slows down to
- a crawl because Windows tries to match the color of each pixel
- with one of the colors in the realized palette. If anyone has
- any suggestion please let me know.
