I'd just downloaded 5.14 and flashed the ROM when this arrived.  I 
couldn't be bothered to softload it.  As an aside I still need to find 
the part of the Boot sequence where I was softloading individual 
modules I had previously downloaded.

I scanned and saved an image as a JPEG (72MB sprite, 1.2MB JPEG).  I 
then attempted to rotate it through 90 degrees.  After about 20 s the 
hourglass was still showing 00% so I aborted it.

My recollection is that DPlngScan was always very slow at some 
operations.  I use PrivateEye for preference for displaying JPEGS. 
When I tried rotating it, it complained at a lack of memory - with 
342268K free!  The task display lists Geminus JPEG Workspace as 2704K.  
The presence of Geminus may be relevant.
