RAW Conversion, how is it done? (technically)

Hi!

Could someone elaborate on how the actual RAW conversion is done as it seems rather quick. I'm used to S7RAW to convert my .RAF files. I understand that the functionality is difference, but the speed remains quite fast. How does the conversion actually differ from "other programs"? What is it you (presumably) do not do? :)

If you use 'preview', the embedded jpeg will be readed...

Yes, I know that. I'm talking about double clicking the file, getting a full (i nmy case) 4MP picture on my screen. The preview is just 1MP. So how do you generate the 4MP picture so quickly?
