Thank you :-)

I have tried it out and here is what I found:

(1) Image display speed is slightly improved, but still extremely slow when
compared to other non-GNUStep image viewers such as GQview, display and xv.
This makes scrollig down a directory of large images extremely painful.

(2) When scrolling down a directory of images, sooner or later one would
hit the point when the app just sits there and consume more and more memory
until the OOM killer kicks in. Sorry but I cannot produce a backtrace
because the app gets killed b4 I have a chance to do anything. I have 104
mb of memory and 133 mb of swap free b4 I started the app. I am running the
CVS version of GNUStep as of Jan. 26, 2002 with kernel 2.4.17 under an ix86
arch.

Regards,
Charles
