I agree with you in that PNG is a superior format, but you are wrong in the BMP issue. In current computers the bottleneck, i.e. the thing which make tasks run slower than they could otherwise, usually is not the CPU, but the I/O system, the hard drive for the most part. CPUs are so fast than most of the time they're waiting for data to be ready (except in computing-intensive tasks like video and audio encoding, 3D rendering, etc.)
So, if you have a 1 MB PNG image and a 20 MB BMP image, is most probable that the PNG one loads and shows faster, at least the first time when it's not cached into memory by the OS.
