Here it takes approx 20 seconds (650MHz PIII, 380M of RAM) and
between 30 seconds and a minute before my home directory finishes
updating the thumbnails.

If I double click on a folder (they all have the same icon for some reason,
a plain document) then that takes a second or so if it's an empty folder,
and can take several minutes if it has a lot of images in it.
