Rendering full-screen individual images:
RAW files (Canon 5D, 12.8MP files):

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?
I just snapped off five shots, dowloaded them to the P-2000, and went
through them one at a time. The first time through, each image displayed in
under 2 seconds, the second time a bit faster. So there does seem to be a
cache phenomenon. And who knows how long it would take per image if there
were 150 images in the directory.
My P-2000 was purchased in Japan, and may be different from overseas models.
