Re: F-Spot slow when scrolling 8000+ pictures

[Larry Ewing <lewing novell com>]

Are these newly imported images.  8000 images shouldn't be a problem at
all, and f-spot does intelligent caching of the visible set.  However
like George mentioned if f-spot is busy regenerating thumbnails you
could end up waiting a long time for specific images to load.  There are
also some possible bottlenecks if a large number of those images a
specific typs of raw files.  A bug report with more details would help
in diagnosing what is going on.  Does the memory usage grow when you are
having this problem?
