Well, i decided to make some kind of home benchmarking :-)
System:
AMD Thunderbird 1.2Ghz
128Mb PC100
IBM 20GB ATA66
GeForceMX with latest nvdia drivers and Twinview enabled.
OS: Mandrake 8.0, kde2.1.1
Test: A directory with 1445 pictures (118,5Mb), all the pictures are jpg.
PIXIE:
Time to open the directory with the thumbnail viewer --> 33seg
Time to create thumbnails --> 13Min
Time to load thumbnails--> 2min and 30seg
GQview:
Time to open the directory --> less than 1 seg
Time to create thumbnails--> 2min and 35seg
Time to load thumbnails--> 5seg
XNView:
Time to open the directory --> less than 3 seg
Time to create thumbnails--> 2min and 10seg
Time to load thumbnails--> I didn't found how to use thumbnails cache, xnview
creates new thumbnails every time you enter a folder.
And the big winner is..........GQview!

I was looking something like acdsee, maybe your objective with Pixie isn't
create an acdsee for linux.
Example: that initial screen is good looking, but completly useless you have
to admit that :-)
Sugestion: why don't you make some kind of splashscreen insteed of that first
screen?
I think it would be nice if there were some kind of option in the thumbnail
viewer that enables resizing of the preview pictures to fit the display area.
Thanks.
