I have noticed that adding a large number of images (or a smaller number of large images) can be a little time consuming, which is why I'm looking into a better way of gathering thumbnails. The particular blueprint is "crebs-thumbnails":

I'm especially grateful for the last few words of your bug report—"with no user feedback"—because it suggests something I can do to allay the worries of users faced with the delay until I figure out how to speed the process up: pop up a message stating that large imports can cause a delay. And that's something I can do relatively quickly.

You're welcome.

You may still notice small delays when the image thumbnail hasn't been cached by Nautilus yet, but Create Background Slideshow will save any it has to create for future use (which will then speed up Nautilus browsing too).
