Thanks for the answer. I did not know already that small files are
embedded in RAWs.

My first thought was, you are using a RAM caching:
Starting to render around 5 pictures before and after the one which
has the focus. 
When a users scrolls to the next or previous picture, that type of
caching ensures, that a user gets the picture very fast.
