Hey,

I have noticed some performance issues when listing folders with some (70 or so) subfolders. I've been debugging the code and the culprit seems to be SetIMDBThumbs(itemlist) in GUIVideoFiles.cs::LoadDirectory. It looks through every subfolder for a thumbnail which is slow since this a SMB mounted share. I'm experiencing sometimes 30sec before the list is shown.

Is there a reason for not storing thumbnails in a sqlite db, similiar to how XBMC is doing it ?
Also using a db would not required write access to the share and would not alter timestamps on folders when adding/updating information.

I'm noticing that it takes a while to load thumbnails of my pictures as well... it's odd because my pictures are stored locally... I'm not really sure what the "create thumbnails" button does... but it doesn't really seem to do much... This slow load of thumbnails makes the system seem slow...
