Well they're not there.

What I know so far is that you're using TImages and relying
on them to do the painting when speed is an issue for you
you. This is a mistake. You need to be managing the painting
yourself and should be using a TBitmap instead.

The general order of operation should be:

    1) Load the image
    2) StretchDraw it to a bitmap in the appropriate size
    3) Display it
    4) While waiting for the timer, repeat 1 & 2 on the next image
    5) Timer activates so begin at step 3

I have a print preview that zooms to 400% for 8.5 x 11 paper
and it's a huge bitmap that paints instantly because it uses
StretchDraw to a temporary bitmap that is then painted. If you
use StretchDraw directly to the screen, performance will
suffer greatly and I suspect that this is exactly what you're
doing by setting the Stretched property of the TImage.
