Guess I was a bit too optimistic there... it's more like 500 ms, but it's at least something  .

Someone on Windows self-compiling QMC2 (from SVN) could perhaps do me a favor and experiment with the QMC2_FILE_BUFFER_SIZE value in macros.h:
rene@thunder:~/src/qmc2> grep QMC2_FILE_BUFFER_SIZE macros.h
#define QMC2_FILE_BUFFER_SIZE QMC2_64K
This value seems to be perfect on Linux/ext4, but depending on the OS and file-system it could make a difference to use a smaller/larger read buffer. Measurements you should compare (this is from QMC2 MAME / triggered a reload after the initial start-up):

14:56:37.617: done (loading XML game list data from cache, elapsed time = 00:02.777)
...
14:56:39.113: done (loading game data from game list cache, elapsed time = 00:01.385)
...

Rene?
when Qmc2 takes a snapshot, does it apply the in game filter?
even when switched off by the user.

No, but it scales the image smoothly if "native resolution" is turned on (which has a similar effect). It actually just grabs the window contents ( QPixmap::grabWindow()).

@ASH: I've replaced the "native resolution" option with a drop-down menu (SVN r4819) to allow for the selection of the scale-mode. Options are: "no scaling", "original size - no filter" and "original size - filtered".
