That will, in time, come.
I don't have the time right now or the coming weeks to do that but i
will make something somewhere late this month early next month

I'm also kinda afraid that speeding up the thumbnailing progress isn't
going to speed it up visually because of GTK... right now it seems
nautilus is redrawing the window with every change while that might be
faster if it only updates once every second.. i might be wrong about
that but it's just my visual observation.
