> From my experience, what takes most of the time in eog is actually the
loading and decoding of the image data from disk. It would probably
suffice with preloading the previous and following GdkPixbuf and only
pushing them to a clutter actor[1] when the image is actually to be
displayed.

About preloading, there is already a bug open with some discussion:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321603

Btw, if somebody wants to give eog some love as part of gsoc I'd be glad
to mentor.. maybe I should write down a proposal..

clutter code for a couple of years now..
