Great! I applied the patch and everything works fine.
Concerning the performance, it works fast enough for me,
once the images are loaded (does not feel slower than
before...)
However, the drag-and-drop is very slow (especially the first time),
So I think that loading the full-size image should be done in two
steps: first the quick one as right now (without the patch), 
and in a background thread the full one is loaded 
(maybe later even with color-management).

In terms of the implementation this is of course much more
complicated and requires a bit of book-keeping and
memory management, but as also mentioned by Julien in #4 above,
this seems to be the way as the speed problem is also solved in other
applications.
