<pre>Thanks for the info.</pre>

Does that mean that KPA is slow for you even when no thumbnails are generated?</blockquote>
<p>Yes, exactly. I tried to explain that before.... :-)</p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had assumed that the background-jobs for thumbnail generation are essentially starving the GUI-thread. These background jobs are active for as long as the "LED-like" indicator in the status bar is flashing green. You can click the indicator LED to get an overview of the running jobs and also for a pause/unpause button. If you pause background-jobs and use the annotation dialog on a subset of your images that already has thumbnails, do you still get the low performance? </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, this indicator for the background jobs was already mentioned several times before and I thought I already made clear, that background jobs are not causing the issue. Indeed, I get the bad performance when no background jobs are running at all! As soon as I have selected a subset of my images and I click on 'Show Thumbnails', the problems start. E.G. when I click on one of the thumbnails it takes a long time until the image is displayed. Selecting indivdual thumbnails for annotation is nearly impossible. Right now I tried to open the context menu by right clicking on a thumbnail. It took 38 secondes until the context menu window appeared. After <span>'Show Thumbnails' everything is unusablely slow, but the duration of the delays seem to vary a bit. The indicator for background jobs is light grey all the time.</span></span></p>
