If you're able to convert the files, why not just convert them to PDF
once, and then include that PDF instead of the PNG files? That will
_always_ be faster than using PNG files directly, since unlike with JPEG
files, the PDF format doesn't natively support embedding PNG files. You
can use pdfTeX/LuaTeX directly for this, or other tools like ImageMagick
and pdfjam:

    $ convert $(kpsewhich example-image.png) example-image.pdf

    $ pdfjam $(kpsewhich example-image.png) --outfile example-image.pdf

Thanks,
