YMMV, but on my system I don't see a significant speed gain with or
without thumbnails. I just deleted some 700MB of thumbnails and I guess
it just takes about the same time to regenerate the thumbnail as it had
taken to find and display the right thumbnails from out of that large
archive (it took some 3-5 min to rm -rf it, and I am sorry I didn't
count their number beforehand).
FWIW I tested with gthumb.
