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. == Chris Glur.
