Do you mean load it into Variations as a picture to image process? 
With 3x3 views? or 5x5 views?

Or time to load it into Variations as a slide show?

So here are my timings for both situations:

4MB jpeg Into Variations as a image processing file, 3x3 views.: 5s

4MB jpeg into Variations as a slide (a ladscape format piccy into 
1920x1200 screen, at 'scale fit' setting and into a RISCOS window (not 
straight onto a black screen): 3s.

So, right away I seem to be at Variance with David Pitts result. My 
Iyonix seems to be 4x to 6x faster than his :-))
