    @ Raf: He is talking about loading the Images from HD without Altivec even on Peg2 G4 it takes some seconds to load a huge 8Mpix Picture.

    "loading the Images from HD without Altivec even on Peg2 G4 it takes some seconds to load a huge 8Mpix Picture."

    It surely shouldn't take 'some seconds'. won't give exact numbers but shouldn't take more than 1-2 seconds. will check at home.

    I was talking of my Efika and my Pegasos. I said it takes about 5 seconds on the Efika and about 2 seconds on the Pegasos. The 5 s on the Efika are really uncomfortable, the 2s on the Pegaso are okay but sometimes even those are annoying, that's what I meant why cpu power matters even on rather trivial every day purposes like browsing pics from the digicam and why I wouldn't proceed a medium clocked L2 cache less 440 core processor as desktop maschine.
    What a long sentence!

    Edit: my Pegasos = Pegasos 1, i.e. no G4 but the G3 600

    Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.

    it's time to add image pre-loading ;-)

    And i agree completely. I just don't get the argument that 400MHz hw is enough because it can run the system at decent speed. My comment was just about the speed of image decoding which pegasos should still do in reasonable time to not be annoyed(just tried some 7Mpix images, and they decode in 0.5-1s time, depending on the photo contents).
