Hi all, I have not yet implemented Lukas' suggestion (background thread) - I am reading about background threads in wxWidgets.
I did however spend more time with the feature, and I find it helpful with my typical settings. No need for this on my dual core workstation, but on my 1.6GHz Pentium M notebook with 2GB RAM and 5400 RPM HDD it gives me a better response, especially when the input images are TIFFs. So I added a preference checkbox (deactivated by default) and put the updated patch in the patch tracker [0]. With the preference checkbox it is sure that it does not affect negatively anybody. And if others have similar hardware as I do, they may find it equally convenient. I'd like to know how it performs on a netbook. I have an Atom based desktop but it is not functional at the moment. I don't know yet how much work it will be to implement the background thread (I don't know if the current ImageCache is thread safe, and if it is not I don't know how much effort it will be to make it thread safe). Once I'll have an idea, I will report back here. If it's too much effort at my current skill level I will consider putting forward a request to integrate this in trunk as-is. If not, I will come back with an improved patch that does the caching in the background, sooner or later.
