If you have a separate thread rendering previews, and this thread will never render anything that is already off-screen again, scrolling will not be braked by the image rendering process. One would have to think about a strategy where an image rendering is taking quite long after the image location has already been scrolled off screen, perhaps it would be worthwhile to abort in that case. But apart from that, things should be workable rather asynchronously. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
