[KPhotoAlbum] Load-performance branch

[Robert Krawitz]

If anyone wants to merge the load-performance branch, I suggest not
going beyond change set 157f8b10a60dd656f4c7c9bd23ca8357fa6df812.  The
commits beyond that point are a bit more experimental, focusing on
more corner case items (in particular, image collections that span
multiple filesystems -- something that matters to people with large
image collections who for one reason or another aren't using RAID).

I probably should have branched off from that point...
