For what it's worth, I had the same problem with my computer being slow
in "painting the thumbnails", even though it has 2GB of memory. I
switched programs from Fuji (the make of the camera), to Adobe Photoshop
Starter edition and the problem went away. I don't know what makes one
program slower or faster than another but it made the difference with
mine. The fact that with your computer, it doesn't seem to matter which
program you're using. Can you tell what other processes are running that
may be taking up the system resources? The whole point of thumbnails is
that they should be able to load quickly.

What's slow is "painting" the thumbnails of a few hundred photos
(1.5-3 Mb apiece) located in a folder on the hard drive. The upload is
equally slow in Windows explorer or my apps (Corel Ulead or Photoshop
Elements Organizer). Most especially, when I weant to rotate a
picture, it takes 30-60 seconds/picture, so its hard to manage a few
dozen at a time.
Maybe I expect too much?
