I am using the following code to put a number of picture files (called pic0, pic1, pic2 etc) into a char array:

char fname[43]; 
memset(fname,0,43); 
for(int i=0; i<43; i++) 
{ 
sprintf(fname,"pic%d.dds", i); 
}

This method works, except for the fact that there is a noticable loading time. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this more efficiently? I have tried various file formats for the pictures, and what's strange is that the loading time is the same when using any format.
Thanks in advance.
