Photography is a big hobby of mine and like you I have hundreds of fairly large jpg files in folders.
(BTW, the htpc I built uses an AMD A4-3400 w/windows 7 and scrolling through hundreds of pictures is pretty much instant and there is basically no waiting for thumbnails render. As I scroll down they are there.)
Good to know an a4-3400 is capable but XBMC is designed to run on low powered hardware and most people still run their atom/ion. Only problem is that the picture-section doesn't had the attention the video-section had. But it's getting better and better.
