Speed matters here, and this makes us about 20 percent faster at loading large directories. Moreover, libpng's PNG_ALPHA_BROKEN is indeed broken. Thumbnails have a fairly fixed format, so there are very few practical corner cases that could have been missed.

fastiv
fastiv is a fast image viewer, supporting BMP, PNG, GIF, JPEG, and optionally RAW and SVG pictures, or whatever gdk-pixbuf loads. Currently, it’s very basic.
Non-goals
-
fancy UI—the focus is on speed of use first, colour accuracy second
-
memory efficiency, though preloading can cause some pressure
-
portability to non-UNIXy systems
