Description Jason Tackaberry 2004-05-11 18:26:56 UTC 
Using nautilus-2.6.0-4 from Fedora Core 2 test 3.

Nautilus appears to synchronously load all existing thumbnails for files in a
directory before allowing interactivity.  If the thumbnails don't exist, it
displays the hourglass ("loading thumbnail") icon and generates the thumbnails
asychronously.

The result is that, ironically, directories with no generated thumbnails appear
much sooner and are more more responsive than directories with existing
thumbnails.  This is noticed considerably with directories containing hundreds
of images over NFS mount via wireless (such as my setup).
