I don't notice a problem here, but then I keep cache disabled, which can 
be as fast or faster on a modern broadband connection as going to disk for 
it.

Does hitting the refresh (possibly with shift or control, I forgot which 
one is supposed to force an update even if the headers say the item isn't 
changed) button or keyboard shortcut get you an updated image?
