If you look into the code of TextureLoader you can see something like
thread.sleep(100) in the loop where the image is loaded. This takes a lot of
time. At this place you can use the image loader from Justin Couch for
example, it is very fast, doesn't use an observer-mechansim (->no component
is needed), but is platform dependent. Daniel Selman compiled the neccessary
libs. Look at his latest messages if you are interested.

Hmm, I don't know.

No, Miplevels are only created when using GENERATE_MIPMAP. The generating
process for scaling the images also uses the observer-mechansim. This takes
a lot of time, too.

Someone said that the PixelGrabber in TextureLoader takes a lot of time. I
wanted to test this, by using Justins image loaders and still use the
PixelGrabber, but I didn't have the time yet.
Hope this helps a bit
