Thanks Eric ... you can see I am an impatient person by nature. I tried
again in the folder with the 17 CR2 + 17 JPG and the arrows certainly
appeared after about 10 seconds. Bear in mind I have a relatively up to
date i7-2600 (3.4GHz) processor, so it would take a while on a more
mainstream system.
Any ideas on the single- versus multiple-instance aspect? For example if
I have pics 1 through 17 but CTRL-click to select half a dozen of them
for a "quick review" using Photo Viewer ...

This is one of the areas where Shotwell needs a bit of improvement.
It tries to pre-cache the next and previous couple of photos when it's
in viewer ("direct") mode, and the arrows don't appear until after
that takes place.
That strategy works fine for small images, but for large files it's a
real pain. If you let Shotwell sit there for a few minutes it will
*eventually* show the arrows -- but that's clearly not the ideal user
experience.
