No ideas. If you have some programming skills, try to add some debug
print messages to src/helpers/cache.py to find out where it stops.

Define "lot of items". But no, it should be fast after you have done
the caching, so max 1 second.

I never heard of that. Do you still see the "scanning" dialog?

The whole caching is done in background in Freevo 2.0. So it is fast
even without caching all dirs first.

Yes, that's because we cache thumbnails of the images in raw format
(without compression). It is fast but uses a lot of space. This is
also fixed for Freevo 2.0 because we switched to imlib2 for reading
images and with that it is faster to read a compressed file.
