Hello Roelof, hello Volker, indeed, it's the zoom level. I understand that it consumes CPU-power to resize a picture but from my point of view, resizing a picture is not an endless process and CPU-workload should go back to a normal level once resizing has finished. But I'll switch zoom factor to 1:1 too. Guess that will be enough.
