I'd need some more concrete information before I can begin to do anything about
it. What kind of delay, how big files, loading from where, how quickly do they
load in other programs, and so on.

ArcSoft Photo+ works perfectly.
Seems Xee 3.1 has no chache. All the files starting from 1MB have noticeable
delays.
RAW files of 20+ MB being loaded for 5..6 sec.
Doesn't mean from system SSD or from external USB 3.0 HDD.
Scaling quality doesn't affect the delay.

I found the issue #342 to be very close to my case.
But MacBook Pro Retina 13" late 2012 has no any NVIDIA graphic chip.
My notebook is new and clean. I haven't installed any software yet but AcrSoft
Photo+ (deinstalled) and Xee 3.1.

There is a cache of one image forward and one backwards. If you are loading
large images, it will not be instant. Please try to compare to how fast Preview
loads the same image from scratch. If there is a noticeable difference that is
a bug that needs to be fixed.

Just've tried v3.0. Unacceptably slow as well.
ArcSoft Photo+ works perfectly on the same files.
FSViewer for Windows acts 10 times faster on FullHD.

Please compare with Preview, though.

Came back to ArcSoft Photo+.
It's DRAMATICALLY FASTER! But I dislike the interface.
So it's something wrong with Xee... :(
Progressive image output should help you a little, but I think won't eradicate
the issue.
I've got used to work with FSViewer on PC. Incomparably quick!

Preview?
No problem with Preview.
Quite quick.

Have you tested Xee on MacBook Pro 13" Retina?

It's somewhat wrong with Open Recent menu item in my Xee.
It's always empty despite I've opened many photos.

No, I do not have a Retina MacBook to test with.
Can you upload an image that is loading slowly?

When i start a slideshow in Xee (Black Style) i see interlaced black screens.
For 3..5 MB files in slideshow I see even more black screen that the photos
themselves.
I've never seen such slide shows...
The fact is that the same file can be displayed with random delay.

It loads a little bit slow here too, but not quite that badly. I will look into
it and see if I can figure out what is causing the delay, though. It doesn't
seem to be the actual loading, but something strange.

Yes, I've located the problem. After loading the image, it is first drawn once
into a memory buffer, that is then used for all further redraws. For some
images, that first draw seems to be very slow. Probably it is extra slow on
your machine, but it does take a second or two here too, which is too long
already.
I will have to try to find out if there is a faster way to do it.

I have finally gotten some useful information out of of Apple about this. Or at
least a slightly faster way to do things. Still perhaps not as fast as it
should be, though. I'll try it for 3.2, though.

The same problem - random annoying delays when viewing JPG files at MacBook Pro
15" (mid 2011). File size - vary, 5..12 Mbytes; image size - 12...36Mpix (from
D700, D800E). Mac OS X version - 10.8.4, Xee3 - non-appstore version.
Xee 2.2 displays the same files almost instantly on the same system.

Running Xee v3.1 on a less than 1 year old 15" Retina MBP w/SSD drive and 16GB
of RAM. NOTHING should feel slow on this machine.
When using Xee3 to open a raw image file from a Canon 5DM2 (~25MB) it takes a
full 14 seconds to load. The same image opens in just 3 seconds using Xee
version 2.
Noticed that Xee is not automatically kicking in my discreet graphics, so I
manually turned on the discreet graphics card and tried again. Same image takes
8 seconds to load with Xee3 and 1.5 seconds with Xee2.
Needless to say to say this needs to be completely resolved or this version of
Xee is useless.

I've purchased a copy of v3.2 and finding that image loading is sadly quite a
bit slower than v2.2. Its particularly noticeable when quickly flicking through
a directory of images or loading large files as per others' comments. in 2.2
its pretty instantly drawn with some random but very short delays. With 3.2 you
get really long (relative) delays that are quite annoying and detract from the
overall excellent user experience. Hope you can fix this - primary reason why i
still use v2.2 for my regular image viewing.

I've been using Xee v2.2 for quite a while and to support the developer I
bought Xee v3.2 yesterday. Man, do I regret this. So slowwww it is on my
Macbook Pro Retina. Please fix this problem (since the first ticket is from
august 17, you really should work on this!!!)

As I said, this is an OS X problem. I've been trying to get Apple to help out
to figure out why things get slow sometimes, and not even they seem to be able
to help. I would fix it right now if I knew how.

if this is a OS X problem, can you explain why Xee v2.2 is much faster and
other imagebrowsers don't have this problem. if you are not able to fix this I
would like a refund.

Because it uses a completely different loading system, with different drawbacks
and advantages. And I can not issue refunds, you will have to ask Apple or
Paddle for that.

Finally I managed to find a code path that allows CGImages to get colourspace
conversion done on the GPU so it is not incredibly slow. 3.3 should be a lot
faster for a lot of images. The faster code path is not enabled for all colour
formats, but it should cover the common ones at least.
