I doubt anyone would use CBRs if it takes 15 seconds to load a page.

I've also been looking the remaining bottleneck in performance (progressive JPEGs), and I'm not optimistic about the results. There is some performance problem in GTK+ or libjpeg, and the answer seems to be: don't use progressive JPEGs.

Beyond that, I'm pretty happy with the performance. The next step is probably to support metadata from apps like ComicBookLover, after digging in a bit.
Sorry for what is probably a dumb question but can cbr files be converted into CBZ files?

If so, could you please recommend a program that can do this.

I just received my Irex today and I am greatly looking forward to trying to read some of my comics on it.

Thank you for your hard work on this.
