[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 283487] [NEW] F-Spot takes a long time to load large JPEGs

[Jonathan Avraham]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: f-spot

F-Spot takes between 5 and 9 seconds to display a 8 mega-pixel (3MB) JPEG in Edit Image mode. It first displays a blurred version almost instantaneously, and then takes the rest of the time to put the sharp version over it.
Gwenview, for example, takes less than half the time.
Admittedly I am using old hardware (see below) but I believe it can be much faster - and Gwenview proves it.
The long loading time makes slideshows impossible when the CPU is under moderate load - F-Spot starts skipping images (Should I open a separate bug for image skipping?).

My computer's specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2600
ATI Radeon 9600 with latest proprietary drivers (8.9)
1GB RAM
Ubuntu 8.04, fully patched
f-spot version: 0.4.3.1-0ubuntu1

** Affects: f-spot (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
