This is not really fixed, just can be worked around by some obscure
setting now. Voting to re-open.

The attached patch checks if max_age and max_size are both -1, ie
thumbnail cleaning is disabled, before scanning the thumbnail dirs. This
enables the performance hit to be removed through a simple configuration

Please apply this patch in ubuntu, it doesn't really fix the problem,

Anyone able to test this ?

Anyway, this bug will be solved when this one
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12309 (Large I/O operations
result in poor interactive performance and high iowait times) is
solved... But it might be wiser not to wait and find an alternative
solution, as the former bug is three years
For anyone struggling with this problem and searching for workarounds, the
upstream discussion is a good read. Apparently, it is possible to entirely
disable the housekeeping mechanism that is responsible for this problem:

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should
be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many
people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of
this project.

Having this issue as well on every reboot/start. Finally got tired of
it, researched, and found this bug. I have to go into the office twice a
week and it really just started doing this only a few weeks ago. Also,
it only started doing it to me on Lucid. Unless it just took some time
for this
Lucid on my laptop has the same problem. Every time it resume from
suspend, g-s-d spend a huge amount of time on check the cache, where
there are 28,000 files.

maximum_size=512, which is the default value, however, the actual
I've been suffering from this same problem as well. This s obviously
broken on a few levels. @ylsdd you are right on all three points. +1
for those three. Immediate fix should be to make this low priority
thread or something; it disables my computer usage for many minutes on
login and is a
my hackaround it (remove thumbnail files older than 10 days, via cron,
each hour:

#!/bin/bash
## login disk thrashing
find /home/elink/.thumbnails -mtime +10 -type f -exec rm -rf {} \;

sudo chmod 755 /etc/cron.hourly/tmp-cleanup

How come this has not been corrected in Lucid?
In my opinion, these values are way too high for anyone not involved
with photography or graphic design: with over 40,000 items on my
thumbnail cache, it took my laptop about one minute to be available for
any meaningful work after logging in. This
i got the same problem. in iotop, i see that after gnome-do finished
reading harddisk, gnome-settings-daemon starts to read at full power for
about 5 min at least.

On https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150483 in the last comment
there's this:
Starting with gnome 2.23.x, the oldest thumbnails are purged shortly after
login when the cache exceeds 64 MB, or if they are older than 60 days, (...)
However the limits were redefined in Ubuntu, see in
After setting the time to keep the thumbnails to 60 days and the cache size to
128MB, gnome-settings-daemon got to work and reduced my thumbnails cache to
2,503 items, totalling 36.6 MB.
I really hope this solves the problem, I'll see it in a few days.

i agree these values are high, but honestly, i got enough space to have
these thumbnails saved, and its quite comfortable to browse through
large photo-directories without having to regenerate the thumbs.
the real bug here is that it takes g-s-d 5-10 minutes to evaluate if
