This doesn't solve your problem, but it might give you an idea of the
trade-offs we're up against when working with RAW.

If you run Shotwell like this from the console:

$ shotwell --no-mimicked-images

This won't get rid of the mimics, but it tells Shotwell not to use them, and
instead load all images straight from the RAW files.  You might try running
Shotwell like this for a while and put it through its paces.  Even if you're
not using every one of Shotwell's features, you'll see some slow-downs,
especially if you double-click an image to view it.

I should also note that we are not the first to operate this way.  Other
photo organizers that work with RAW use stand-in JPEGs like we do.
