It might be about the size of the file. The code example I posted a while ago makes a special point of only loading so much at a time and waiting for space in the buffer. I don't remember if that was a real problem.

I know that I had trouble with image dimensions, but I can't remember if it was a showstopper if the image was larger than the terminal etc. In any case, scaling the image would be an important step. The source PNG for the graphic I'm using is 640x384 pixels.
