Regarding the original pull request, feel free to close it if you wish. As I've mentioned above, I'm still sticking with my patch anyway - most of my folders contain several hundred 12 Mpix images, so I can't afford waiting 5 minutes for thumbnail generation. I guess Atom simply can't do any better. My opinion would probably be quite different if I owned an i5.
The number one reason I recently retired my Atom (Revo 1600) and built an inexpensive XBMC HTPC is because it was so painfully slow when viewing my photos.
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.)
