[XFree86] How to reduce the over head of one bit appending in 24 bit RGB image display?

Hi,   I am getting the RGB value of the image in 24 bits. So I have Started my application in 24 bit color depth.   I am planning to use the XPutImage function for displaying the RGB value of the images.   My application reports the depth as 24 but the bpp ( bits per pixel ) as 32?.   So for
