Speeding up F-Spot

[Stephane Delcroix <stephane delcroix org>]

I'd just like to point your attention on two patches sleeping in
bugzilla. Both are related to speed up f-spot and responsiveness.
If you only have time to try and report on two patches in the following
days, choose those ones !!!

WorkerThread + Database threading,
bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337724,
patch http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=66967 : A hard name
for a very good patch. Allow f-spot to write metadata in the background
(thing about tagging, adjusting time, changing orientation, ...). You
can even stop f-spot with some background action remaining. Next time
you start, the process will continue. Thumbs up to Ruben!

Progressive redraw, 
bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343856, 
patch http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=67011 : Precache
images when browsing in Edit View or in FullScreen View. No more
apparent redraw. Amazing! Thanks wjbaird!
