I'm afraid I must confirm this too (Xfce, Trusty 14.04, gThumb 3.2.7). I too see a definite difference between large and small files/ photo loading time on 3 different machines with various capabilities (from i7 with 32GB to 2 Intel Atom dual with 1GB notebook). Hence, I switched for my photo browsing to Ristretto.
However, I also seem to see a big difference in loading times between images with, and images without full META data (e.g. camara make, exposure times, flash on/off, ISO). Is that just me or do others also have this experience?
