JFYI. PCManFM 1.1.2 is in the wheezy-backports and it is not slower
than Thunar but it has less dependencies I believe. It has not only tabs
but also some features Thunar does not have. And PCManFM was especially
optimized for folders with a lot of files (let say, tens of thousands of
them) lately. Feel free to try it, I suspect you may find it even faster
than Thunar.
The version 1.2.0 got yet more optimizations but it isn't in backports
yet, it will come there later.
