Now, thats an interesting idea. I will look into the bitmaps right away. I did check a lot of performance checking and tuning loading and creting my objects, thats smooth by now. I am not very experienced with the drawing part, though. Like you pointed out, the drawing is propably too expensive/done too often. Most of the time, the map just sits there after all...
