Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It takes about 10 seconds when swiping through images on an iPad, sometimes images are preloaded but most times it takes so long to load images. 10 Seconds and when you have 40 to 50 images in a folder it ads up.

Describe the solution you'd like
Preload images in the background, so swiping images is seamless and user doesnt notice the images loading

Research direction

Start by tracing the iOS slideshow image viewer and its image-loading path, then reproduce the delay while swiping through a folder with many images. Done means images are loaded in the background so swiping is seamless without noticeable loading pauses.
