Images are needed on startup when the project is updated which means any of the image files could change.

Its a big problem for me , I can preload everything, save it to an image and distribute the image instead with zero delays. I dont care if this is going to be improved or not , since I can work around this limitation.

I was merely reporting the creating forms from pngs is too slow.

Years ago I investigate this kind of problem for my application. I can't optimize PNGReader on image side. I tried to connect some C library but no success. 
My time was limited for this issue. And it was not really critical for me. So I gave up.

After that Athens was announced. And as I understand Cairo can work with png-files directly without loading it to image side. I not try it. Maybe you can experiment with this.
