Hm, I have no idea. It can be anything from diplay driver to GTK.

The problem is that the interface between file list and image widget
allows passing just one file for read ahead. Changing that would mean a lot
of rewritting and IMHO there are more important tasks now.
Of course, patches are welcome ;)

the profile is applied after scaling the image. It is typically much faster 
than the other way when the images are bigger than the wiewport, but it needs 
to be reapplied after zoom. Ideal would be to combine both methods, but it is 
not trivial.

It could be improved a bit, I think that id does not fit well with moving
to the next image by single mouse click to the image window. Possible fixes 
are:

a) ignore mouse clicks at all
b) ignore mouse clicks in split mode
c) enable or disable mouse clicks in configuration

I think that b) is the best possibility.
