I really dont get your beef with this like others already expressed. Your expecting desktop class behaviour from a tablet, that's just not realistic. Making such a big deal out of it makes me quite envious of your apparent situation. Comparing the iPad 3 to an original iPad makes _no sense_ because the iPad 3 pushes 4 times as many pixels. You are complaining a certain usage scenario but the remedy would at this point be no retina screen at all.
Here's an advice: reduce the images to 3 MP and they'll load 4 times faster, maybe even more as they might be exceeding the size of videocaching that slows it to a snail's pace. If you really "NEED" to show clients high res images the iPad is not the device you should use, or you should just wait a few seconds. You make it sound as if your clients are high-level corporate executives that cannot stand to wait just a few seconds when you skip through some images.
My smartphone has an SD card problem (it destroys them). Manufacturer says they cannot find any issues so here's to hoping the software update they gave it addresses the issue. Am I bothered by it? Slightly because THAT is a case of a device not working as it should, giving me additional cost, productivity problems, loss of data (forgetting to backup data) and loss of functionality. But man, i have far more serious problems.
