So is the problem only when you use zgv via mc ?
Can you use any other 'image viewer' eg. xpdf on other file formats ?

Do you know how to diagnose with: top, pstree, ..etc., in
case zgv consumes a lot of resources ?

But you'd expect the same resource usage if you did <path>/zgv <file> ?
And it that's OK, it seems that the problem is in the small step of mc
passing the image-file to the viewer to use.
Eg. the details of the syntax of the relevant  mc.ext file.
