If your hard disk is slow, or busy, it may be faster to read small jpeg images 
and decompress it on memory, than read big uncompressed bmps or tiffs.

In our case, it is faster to use small 100KB jpegs, than big 1.5MB tiffs.

You will need to test to find your optimal configuration.

I agree with you that no reprojection should be done on-the-fly.
