Hi, I use Olympus raws (.ORG) and I have similar problem too (my CPU is more than 5 years old, 1.5ghz celeron M). But I have an idea for solution. In the time, that the user is watching photo (and shotwell does not do anything) shotwell should preload next and previous photos (maybe more that one), so the the switching between photos will be instant if you spend some time looking/editing the photo. This feature will be also usefull, if you want to show your pictures to friends, when waiting a few second is not really acceptable.
