The main reason why kuickshow is so much faster is because it loads the
next picture before it gets selected, as ACDSee (if somebody knows
this) and other picture viewers does.

On the other way, the reason why kview is rather slow is because of
some strange resize-management (it resizes it's window 2-3 times before
it even thinks about drawing the picture here).
