Just to give another use case, the raw preview in nautilus is so slow for canon 5d2 and 50d .cr2s (it's much faster for sony rx100m2) that I don't use it (it blocks my processor forever for a couple of previews) and keep the jpgs as quick reference. > Yes, I take the point that it is possible to create the JPEG from the RAW > but it takes time to do that.

From my experience, sometimes the in-camera processing is doing a pretty decent job that is hard to copy in $RAWCONVERTER, not even by investing a lot of time. IIRC this was several times on the DT mailing list and other photographers experience the same with LR and other commercial tools. For me personally, it is hard to come close to the noise reduction and detail preservation that the conversion within my Canon 5D2 does. For this camera and according to my standards, profiled denoise is unusable since it overshoots and delivers a cheap compact camera like result (without noise, but without details as well, comic book style). The denoise - non local means works much better, but the details preservation is far from what the camera does. I Don't doubt that similar results are possible (and for some situations I get to them or other parameters are more important than denoise + details preservation), but these take a lot of time, as you told. I wonder what the camera actually does to get to the result. > People have different amounts of time they are prepared to invest in each > picture depending on the nature of the pictures and where they are going > to.
