I confirm. It happens wherever db is located.

Since I started using the new locations for files this now happens in "C:\Program Files\XnView\cache" and is still a problem in 1.90 beta 1.
Even if the DB is always been updated it shouldn't access the disk like this.
Update:
Turning the cache off altogether only slows the flicking down so that isn't the problem!
From now on I'm leaving the cache OFF because I'm not happy with this situation.
Update 2:
Cool idea, turning cache back on, moving it to my spare D:\ drive and setting it to "none" instead of "ZIP". This way if there is a leak in XnView it can corrupt my D:\ and I won't care less.

Right, it's really hard to fix it. A temporary file is created during thumbnail creation (SQL requests for cache/categories)
