Well you don't need a sync everytime you load an image or BMP. Also Sleep 0 does nothing. It's like saying (wait for no time). So take those lines out completely. You can sync graphics if they are part of an intro with several screens, and you can sleep for anything greater than zero. If you are making a menu then Sync after all of the images have been placed, not just each one. So you can paste 6 Images then Sync.

Use sprite instead of paste image! This is faster than paste img:

backdrop on : color backdrop rgb(0,0,0) : sync on
load image "image.bmp",num
sprite num,x,y,1
set sprite num,0,1

do
sync
loop

I don't really see the advantage of using sprites for a menu to be honest. It seems a bit odd. I wouldn't do it, in fact I wouldn't use images either. I'd just use a large picture for the menu. That would be a single load, and just makes everything much simpler.

Having said that though...if you want the menu items to light up when the mouse goes over them you need to paste images anyway.
