Presumably that’s with stock libpng, which uses zlib. I wonder if anyone tried patching it to use the substantially faster (on x86) libdeflate[1] instead? It doesn’t do streaming, but you shouldn’t really need that for PNG textures. [1] https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate
