At the moment I'm not totally convinced that it is fully solved, but we've 
removed at least some of the problems. Building the thumbnails for all images 
over an NFS mount is going to take a while, anyways. During thumbnail 
construction the GUI is still sluggish, but in contrast to before the program 
does react to input.

Btw. you don't happen to have your old thumbnail database lying around 
somewhere, do you? I was thinking that it should be doable to write a 
converter. It's not of much use to me because I already have rebuilt the 
database, but I guess there will be plenty of people with big databases on 
slow media that have not upgraded yet.

Good to hear. Thanks for the feedback!
