[KimDaBa] Speeding up scrolling

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

I'm not sure I like this soluion, simply because whoever asked for an image 
might rightfully expect it to show up eventually.
Nevertheless it sounds like when a new item gets in, the old one is paused, 
while the new is processes, which is of course wrong.

I'm currently fighting the *beeeeeeeep* thumbnail view, and all my kimdaba 
time today will likely go in that direction, but I'll have a look at it when 
I'm done. Till then, please be gentle with your pagedown key ;-)
