Have you tried using the pygame.mask module? I suspect that it will be
fast enough to not have to do preloading. Doing hitmasks the way you
are (i.e. in python) has huge overheads.

Forget that. Looks like this is going to be a learning experience.
What version of Python are you using, Michael? Bet it's not 2.5.4. And
I'll bet that lib/*.pyc need to be recompiled. Which is unfortunate,
because I pre-compiled the many many many hitmasks so you wouldn't
have to. Compiling those requires 2 GB of RAM and will kill Windows
(and maybe Linux) systems that have a decent size paging file configured.
Doing some research. Meanwhile, if my hunch is right: I'll need to
figure out how to set up a proper install that re-compiles the libs.
Does anyone know of a way to compile huge .py with a tiny amount of
RAM--say, less than 500 MB?
