Witch dcraw version you use ? I suspect that you have a dcraw < 8.x intalled in your computer !

digiKam use now the new dcraw "-e" option to extract Raw preview image. The code to extract the preview image from the new implementation of dcraw::parse.c have been removed. This code have been migrated in dcraw.c since 8.x release.

To have performed some tests between the old dcraw:parse method include in digiKam (but not used now) and the new dcraw -e option, the time to extract the RAW preview image is the same.

In your case, if you have a dcraw verion < 8.x, digiKam will failed to use the -e option and it will use a slow alternative method using another dcraw options.
