Gilles,

download and autorotate is done in a separate thread from the GUI, yes, maybe. 
BUT: download *and* autorotate are in the same thread.  If autorotate where in
a different thread, the application could already start downloading the next
image while rotating the last one.  This would speed up the image downloading
process by up to 50% on my machine (where rotating an image and downloading an
image is about equally fast, if all images are rotated)

cheers
