Years ago I investigate this kind of problem for my application. I can't optimize PNGReader on image side. I tried to connect some C library but no success. My time was limited for this issue. And it was not really critical for me. So I gave up. After that Athens was announced. And as I understand Cairo can work with png-files directly without loading it to image side. I not try it. Maybe you can experiment with this.
