For me results with JPEG are better as well.
I have an average size of 11KB per thumbnail (db file size / number of stored 
thumbnails).
Most important for me: Subjectively, loading is faster than with PGF. (With 
maximum number of icons visible - no sidebars, fullscreen, minimum thumbnail 
size - I can mouse wheel scroll at a reasonable fast speed without seeing 
missing thumbnails)

For me creation time is not important, because this is done once, but 
pregenerated thumbnail loading time, which is done everytime.

Btw, once all thumbnails are built, because of the shortcomings that Andi 
mentioned, it is a benchmark of pregenerated thumbnail loading when running 
the "Rebuild Thumbnail -> Scan" dialog - it will load all existing thumbnails.
