Fairly well I think. > There's a bug in EOG about very bad performance with big animations > (#344731). The bug is actually caused by the gdk-pixbuf library so you will find the same problem in gThumb and GtkImageView because they all depend on the same library. I think the problem is that the animation loader stores each frame in memory which is not so smart. > > So, if you like, I can produce a proof of concept patch that > > demonstrates how EOG performs with GtkImageView. > > I personally think it's something worth considering.

Maybe it's a chicken and egg problem. GtkImageView is not GNOME blessed(TM) so no GNOME app can use it and it can't be "blessed" because no GNOME app use it. I don't know how to get around that, but I thought suggesting a branch in EOG would be a good start. But it is true that the GNOME module inclusion/external dependency process is quite tricky indeed. > Great work dude!
