Proportionally, that fits as my ~/.thumbnails is 650 MB. Are you
suggesting that erasing that folder and letting F-Spot rebuild it
would make F-Spot faster?

Are there any other methods that I could use? Such as, reducing the
thumbnails quality? I don't want to reduce their size any smaller than
they are already.

Thanks.
