Also, I don't know about Pygame, but in most engines an image file will be converted into a texture format usable by the GPU, which often will have a very different file size than the original image. | |

Seconding Pikalek's recommendation to include your code as an edit to the question and post your solution as an answer. Not only does this make it easier for other game creators struggling with similar issues to find the solution you shared, it also lets them give you reputation by up-voting your answer. π You may also find this past Q&A about the convert() function useful for reference.

| Aug 3 at 15:27 | comment | added | Pikalek | Possibly related: when I looked at the image info using IrfanView the larger one had its DPI set to 72 x 72 whereas the smaller one didn't have a DPI set. I don't know if that would impact pygame or not, but if it had to rescale it, I would expect that to hurt performance. You could try manually setting the DPI to see if that changes anything. | |
| Aug 3 at 15:22 | comment | added | Pikalek | In both cases are you comparing loading & placing a single sprite? If you're tiling to cover the screen for instance, it seems like it would take more draw calls when using the smaller sprite. | |
