Icons are nevertheless very useful.

For me icons for raster image are not too useful.
Why should QGIS draw an icon that represent a, for example, 5000x5000 pixel raster in a space of 16x16?
QGIS should use a simple icons for all rasters...

because when you do raster analisys your rasters (not normal orthophotomaps or militar maps) normally have very different colormaps and with icons they are EASILY identified in the legend.

Here's my notes, for the record:
It seems to only affects rasters without overviews. I did a test with a single 1 GiB JP2 and it generates the legend icon nearly instantaneously. A 1.3 GiB tiff without overviews takes a long time, yet the same with overviews is fast. A 200MiB tiff without overviews has a noticable delay, but it's not horrible.
Though the original issue is a small 14MiB vrt with jp2 images, zooming and panning are not affected. Maybe there's something else with a vrt that slows down the legend generation?

Ok, there is now an option to disable raster icons in case of performance problems (btw., those icons are 32x32 )
