I use a similar setup, sharing a massive library (3000 movies, 10.000 tv eps) over a NFS share on my linux server, the slowdown is defiantly noticeable but still acceptable.
An idea that spins my mind, is to sync the thumbnailcache to each client via rsync on startup, this way you would only sync diffs which should be finished in a second. just some bash script which you run on startup and shutdown. You might still have some gap with clients that you swich off and on inbetween updates but this depends on your setup.
will give it a shot next time I find some time. (excludes non linux clients of course)
