According to kanenas it works even with 11.1 and a new KDE4 gwenview, i.e. 
external viewers "in a fraction of a second" – and that although he is not 
really a KDE4 fan. :)

Since 10.3 is long dead there might be some other reason to it. But as I said. 
You are not bound to gwenview in case optimising its GUI, e.g. disabling the 
preview bar, does not make it quick enough for you. Konqueror used some app to 
show the pictures, find that app and use it as external viewer – it might work 
quicker than gwenview.

No, konqueror is still part of KDE, so how can you claim its functionality was 
taken away? You got more choice, not less. Konqueror is just not the default 
file manager anymore, neither is konqueror the default browser anymore.
