Confirmed that Files struggles with large folders full of images, in icon view. When tried with a 4000+ images copied from the thumbnail folder (the thumbnail folder will not thumbnail itself) scrolling was very slow for newly revealed icons. However, List view and Column view did not suffer from this problem. As they share a lot of the thumbnailing code the problem probably lies in the Gtk.IconView widget itself, which is slow to redraw. Either this needs to fixed upstream or a different widget used.
