Slow import

[Harvey Stein <hjstein covad net>]

I'm importing photos from my Pictures directory.  I have ~3000 pictures
there.  It started off fast, but slowed down quickly, to the point where
it was often taking ~1 second per photo.  This is with "copy files to
Photos folder" *unchecked*, so no copying is actually taking place, and
with a build from the trunk that I just did (r3037).  It's also spewing
out messages like:

open uri =
file:///home/hjstein/Pictures/canon-fuji/2003_08_31/101_0169.jpg
open uri =
file:///home/hjstein/Pictures/canon-fuji/2003_08_31/101_0169.jpg
open uri =
file:///home/hjstein/Pictures/canon-fuji/2003_08_31/101_0169.jpg

Any idea what's going on?  Is there any work on speeding it up?

Thanks.
