Bug Description

With geeqie in full-screen mode (under xfce4), viewing fairly large-resolution images, at full resolution (i.e., after hitting "z"), and with landscape format images, screen updates are very slow. That is, though image updates are essentially instantaneous (like, going back and forth through a directory of images) when the above conditions are not met - when the image is a portrait-format image (greater height than width), or when the image is not viewed at 1x magnification, or when the application is not full-screen - updates are very slow when the conditions *are* met.

The "eye of Gnome" application, a comparable image viewer, is able to paint full-screen 1x landscape format images quickly on the same platform.

The problem seems very similar to this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=762257

Another bug report that looks relevant to this:

http://sourceforge.net/p/geeqie/bugs/213/

The special case test in the code snippet shown in that report seems to match the conditions under which I see very poor performance.
