image pre-loading in view/edit/fullscreen/slideshow modes?

[Neilen Marais <gmane chatsubo lagged za net>]

Hi,

Viewing performance is very important to me, so I was about to request an
image preloading feature, but it seems to have been requested before:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428784

What is the status of this request? If someone were to provide a
reasonable patch would it be accepted?

Thanks
Neilen
