true. However, every option is roughly 20 lines of code. Plus a little more memory as we store the option, some state, etc. More complication options mean even more overhead. One here and there may seem small, but you just get nibbled to death. Also, the image code is only the bottle neck for spawning windows (and a few update routines). Options can still lead to slow event handling. If an option is worthwhile or well liked it will at least be considered but the answer might be to not add the functionality rather than deal with one more choice.
