This is a very first experiment. I don't quite know why, but the overall experience so far for me was rather sluggish, particularly when browsing through the gallery and editing pictures occasionally. I started experimenting with caching here and there, but, the main culprit, the RAW-file loading time (which spends a lot of time on demosaic) isn't affected by this branch.
I'd be interested to hear your feedback, if those caches do make the browsing experience somewhat smoother. It feels they do for me.
I'm still working on actual benchmarks to further proof if what I'm doing here is actually useful 🤣
