----------
Processor speed aside, if you are showing /hiding six images simultaneously,
why can't you make a single image of all six and hide/show just the one?

If you need to handle them separately, then keep the six separate images for
that.

If that won't work either, try using image names or variables as message
parameters...might speed things up a bit.
