without actually running the game, just browsing the source, i see you 
are not properly converting the loaded images to match the display.

the Surface.convert() method returns a new Surface that is converted. 
you will need to change these lines into this

        self.image = self.image.convert()

still, it looks like the background image should already be the right 
format, which should make a large difference. hopefully i'll get a 
chance to run the code tonight and see what's really going on.
