At the moment, the first time you load the app with an empty cache, the background image take a very long time to load.
This is a function of at least two things:
The resolution of the images
The compression used
You are encouraged to experiment with various image formats (.jpg, .png, .gif) to see which one gives the best tradeoff between how the image looks, and the load time. Note that some image formats have "progressive display" where a lower res image is loaded first, and then progressively gets more clear. That may be an option.
Acceptance Criteria
[ ] Background images throughout the app load faster than before.
Implementation Todos
This probably involves replacing the images in the assets folder, and possibly changing the embedded image names in some other files if the image type is changed.
