Hi Larry! Thanks for the quick reply!

In the test, I'm currently going through 2500 files in a single directory 
sequentially. In the app, I'll be trawling a complex directory structure, so 
its more than liking going to be unpredictable

The end goal is analyze the histogram of the alpha channel. Since in Python, 
we'll be doing this by isolating the alpha, getting the pixels, and pushing the 
resultant array into numpy.
When implementing just the first part (checking some attributes), we noticed 
the slowdowns when reading the files. I don't *THINK* its related to reading 
DDS files, so testing another format at the moment (tga).

Windows

Thanks!
