That's certainly a special use case :) I wonder if we should have an option to load images into library *without* regenerating thumbs. Because that's what makes things slow. In the end only relatively few thumbs from such a huge collection will survive in mipmap cache. The cache will typically be too small to keep a huge portion of them. So we keep the cpu/gpu busy generating thumbs which are shortly after thrown out from the cache again.
