Lightroom does something that neither DK, RT or DT do: it caches the 
processed image, so that it is what I see when browsing. It is the best 
of both world: displaying is quick, but I see what matters to me. Once I 
have defined processing settings in RT or DT, the embedded preview in 
the RAW file is completely irrelevant and can even more hurt than it 
helps if the processing changes the image substantially, for instance 
major cropping.

Questions to the developers: would it be thinkable to call RT or DT to 
render the image, and store this as preview in the DK database, instead 
of the embedded one?
