I tend to agree. Even if it's done by caching images in a scratch directory if they're above a certain size (or the cache overall grows above a certain size) and loading them on demand it'd help a fair bit. Scribus would also need to generate image previews more efficiently in the first place, but Franz has been working on that one. Adobe Reader handles this in PDF by just loading the image from the PDF each time. It has some very fast code for rendering common types of PDF image, but even so it still gets very sluggish on image-heavy PDFs. -- Craig Ringer
