Perhaps the following code fragment will help:

   # top of your loop
   .
   .
   .
   "xview function here" &  # put the display program in the background
   sleed xxx		    # sleep number of seconds you want to
			    # display the image
   kill $!		    # kill the last process put in background
   .
   .
   .
   # end of your loop

I hope this is helpful.
