Its not exactly a bug, but using the -t switch is about 332.1195% slower.

Of course it is slower... it needs way more processing than a simple drawcopy

Even worse here:

I agree with visionz though

332.1195% slower! That's a dramatic way of saying something that's really not very shocking. Implementing transparency is a whopping 3x slower, what's the surprise? It's not just 'not exactly' a bug, it's not remotely a bug.

well yes I can see why it's slow, but its still messes up my script

it also depends on the resolution
