Could you add feature to cache/preload 2-5 next and previous images (relative to the one currently open in full screen mode) to the RAM, this would make switching the images a bit faster.

After purchasing Video Card for my PC i tried few software that support GPU acceleration FastRawViewer and ACDSee, when i scroll with mouse wheel or arrow keys images switch so fast, would love to see similar performance in XnView MP some day.

So far what's your recommendation to achieve better performance with XnView MP, buying a faster CPU will allow faster switching between images?

I currently have i5-4460

From what i understand you already have this implemented, but it loads only one image ahead, how about to allow people with lots of RAM to specify number of images they want to load ahead.

Reading ahead, isn't GPU acceleration, unless it is specifically done through the GPU.
It can just as well be done, using the CPU and regular RAM.
