Multithreading is great since I do have dual core.  But it still doesn't hold a candle to what pre-decompress gets you or plain old faster jpeg decoding as you would get by just taking the code of the other programs.

What might make sense is to have two modes of full-size preview, one of which allows more complex modifications to the image directly, and the other of which requires the image be re-loaded before most pixel modifications (rotate and flip should be possible without re-load since they can be done lossless on the file as in thumb mode.)

This would allow the very fastest loads which are, for large images, only needing 1/4 of the pixels or less.

Now I have to admit, the speed is getting pretty good for me on my dual core Intel 6600, but that's one of the faster systems out there.
