Comment (by Janus):

With "this doesn't solve the problem" I meat that anyone can reopen this
ticket with some big images...

How much memory do we assign to ShowImage? Now it is 1/5 of the memory,
but the insertion try to guess the size of the new image (~memory/7,5).

I found another strange behavior.
I don't know if this worth to modify the cache: sometimes the preloaded
images are loaded before the requested one.

how to reproduce this (In a single core machine):
* put in a folder a small image and a very big one.
* open the small one.
* ShowImage took a very long time to open (time to load the big image
+ the small one)

This happen when the loading thread is scheduled after the insertion of
the preloaded images in the queue
