"Eager" image deserialization - not mine - not sure where I found it - or how useful it may be...

EagerPNG.m

UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size,YES,0.0);

[image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height)];

UIImage *deserializedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()];

UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
