Mounted an NTFS partition (in read only mode) which has ~500 files of
various file types. Double clicking some JPEG images takes about '''8'''
seconds to open in ShowImage. During that time I can hear HDD
seeking/reading noise. Probably ShowImage is trying to read the directory
where this file is for caching.
Interestingly, opening the same image from Terminal using "ShowImage
/path/to/image.jpg" takes '''5''' seconds. So there's some kind of a
difference here about how the file is being opened.
Some other JPEG files in the same folder open within '''3''' seconds
(using double click) in ShowImage.
It takes only '''1''' second to open the same file in
QupZilla/WebPositive.
