All of the ideas you suggested would work, here is another one.
Display the image in a canvas, when your ready for the next image overdraw
the first one.
The Quicktime approach would clearly be the easiest from a programming point
of view, since synchronozing with the sound track and switching the images
is done by the movie, but its less flexible, and a bit of a resource hog for
a simple slideshow. Since with a quicktime movie where the sound and
picture are integrated you can't easily change the spacing between pictures.
Another approach would be to use a quicktime movie just for the images and
advance frames only when needed. This last approach would save memory plus
simplify the code for displaying the image, of course you would still have
to worry about when to switch pictures.
