Re: preloading of images

f-spot 0.6.x already loads images faster than before, but still, I
admit, it's not fast enough.

We're currently loading and displaying as fast as libjpeg is able to
process them.

One option would be pre-loading images, another would be a better and
faster jpeg decoding...
