Hi,

I'm guessing this is upstream bug 505811. It seems what's slowing eog
down is putting the displayed image in the "Recent Documents" list. This
is already fixed upstream.

As mentioned in the discussion upstream, there's also a general problem
with recent documents, parsing the file becomes very slow if it's big.
You might try clearing it manually (Places > Recent Documents > Clear),
or simply moving the .recently-used.xbel file.
