> What would average users say after switching from windows, where there is no system slowdown on loading thumbnails, to ubuntu, where system becomes sluggish while loading them? Athlon 3000+, 1GB RAM; Core Duo 1,6, 1GB RAM - not top, but still not bad. But loading thumbnails in nautilus is a pain on them.

Yes. This is definitely a problem. I hate it when Nautilus is slow to respond. The thumbnail loading must be fixed.

If there is not yet a bug report regarding it then maybe you could open a new one if you are able to repeat this problem in a reliable manner? If there some kind of benchmark "folder of thousand jpegs" which can be compared across Linux distributions, KDE, GNOME and Windows, the developers can precise feedback so that can work to improve this feature.
