Hello,

  I resent this to get it show up in the BFA.

  I found that writing a 8-bit depth BMP file with this patch is 10 to
30 times faster than writing GIF, especially if you properly cache the
data.  Writing PNG file is 3 times faster than GIF...  To exchange
bitmaps with non-Squeak software, BMP is actually still viable option.
