I didn't look in the implementation, but from what you tell the current process
is:
3000 files added -> 3000 thumbnails requested -> 3000 pixmaps stored.

What generally scales very well would be:

3000 files added -> added to a model -> n files displayed -> n thumbnails
requested -> n thumbnails cached -> n thumbnails drawn from cache
where n is small (depending on widget's size)

This is how it's basically done in the main icon view.
