If you're getting 5D images to render that quickly, then it is almost
assuredly due to having already viewed them once previously.
RE-viewing images (after the initial rendering view) will be decent
on the 2000/4000, but that's hardly a help when you want to quickly
view newly-shot images in the field.. I'm clicking on a
newly-created thumbnail of a full-quality 5D jpeg or RAW image for
the *first* time.
My numbers are accurate, and very closely reflect the numbers claimed
by Epson (actually better than Epson's claims).

Can you verify that it's a cache issue on your device?

See my other post about dpreview's numbers regarding pre-cached
image-to-image viewing.
Here's a link:

Also notice that my times for thumbnail page creation are right on par with
dpreview's cited number (They cite 11 seconds for initial render...mine was
10.5 seconds)
