Is there an easy way to make some benchmark? You can clean the thumbs cache and run geeqie from commandline under `time` with directory that contains a lot of big photos as a param... and watch the progress bar to close app when thumbnails are done. I measured it more precisely by adding exit(0) in code when end of the list of files is reached. > Besides thumbnails in the main list should I expect to have main image > loaded (and shown) almost 2x faster (for no cached images)? Or the > second (cached) image should be loaded faster? Main photo is loaded simultanously with first thumbs and only this. It doesn't load faster, since it is still processed by only one CPU. And I havent touched the prefetching mechanism too, but here is something to do. > > > Regards > Marcin > > > -- bart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
