Ok, I actually implemented this, however, the improvement is subpar. That is,
[NSImage imageNamed:] cycles through all the image extensions within the main
bundle before trying in the system resources. Tiff images are checked for
first, but we still spin alot within the main bundle needlessly.

Never-the-less, this still is somewhat of an improvement... Thoughts?

Cheers,

Michael
