This leads me to conclude that the conversion
between
8 and 24 bits, ties up many resources. I'm not
quite
sure how to proceed from here on though.

The other thing you may be able to do is implementsome caching so that the image doesn't get converted into a xpixelmap unless it's needed.
I've got a patch somewhere that makes Arcanum under Cedega about 50 times faster using this method.
