Hi,
digikam is very inefficient when one album contains a huge number of pics, e.g. \
2000-3000. It spawns *lots* (>200) of kio_thumbnail processes each with 8 to 10 MiB \
residual memory usage. Load goes through the roof (>200) and the machine is thrashing \
like hell. Well it's not fun. Thanks to the excellent linux 2.6 scheduler the machine \
is still reacting pretty well, but it's not really usable... 

There should definitely be a limit on how many kio_thumbnails are called \
simultaneously.
