Game Speed

Sorry im a complete noob at this but ive been told loading gif or other types of files to use as graphics can slow down a program considerably; Im migrating to java from ActionScript and this is a scary thought. But is it true;

Yes and no. In general, loading images will take you virtually no time. However if you're loading images from thousands of files or you'e got images that are mBytes large, you may want to load these images before you start your game

prefetching images (and other items) is a standrad practice in gaming regardless of the language platform.

ActionScript doesn't really give a great amount of resource control, especially images. Flash usually loads all images in a scene, but it also loads images on-the-fly that weren't predictable due to the ActionScript. Pre-fetching in Flash virtually doesn't exist to the coder.
