Of course its a bit more complex than that - at present I don't even use anything remotely as sophisticated as that in Jack - but now I know more about SetInterval() I can imagine the possibilities it could bring to Jack's full-screen image viewer and the solution you are looking for.

SetInterval() has low system latency, look at the clock in Jack - its using SetInterval() to grab the system time every second whilst the rest of the interface remains unblocked.

So you could parse through the drawer loading brushes, populating an array - image res, width, height, camera mode, shutter speed etc... Your screen redraw routine simply draws what has been loaded at that point in time. When all available images have been loaded the Interval is cleared.
