Metalweb uses Wb datatypes, and a MUI dtpic object to show it, this class
has the trouble that you say now, when MUI need to do a draw it calls
BltBitMap AmigaOs Routine to draw the image.
I can add a button on prefs to don't load images.
Btw I will try to solve it.

The cause is the way that use this Datatypes, and I supose that other
cause is because Webvision only need to show 1 image. I will email him
ask it to solve it.

I will finish nearly.
