quite a few thumbnailers for images can be found in kde-runtime:

I think that making use of Poppler, rather than using gs, might indeed
have some benefits (like faster generation of previews), but I can't
really give good advice on what would be the best way to approach such
a project.

I hope that some readers of this list do have more in-depth Poppler,
gs and/or general thumbnailing experience than myself and can provide
some feedback. Alternatively, try to get in touch with the Okular
guys. They might also know who worked on the existing PS/PDF
thumbnailer (which hasn't seen many commits recently).

Best regards,
Frank
