(Get the code!)
The attached patch checks if max_age and max_size are both -1, ie thumbnail cleaning is disabled, before scanning the thumbnail dirs. This enables the performance hit to be removed through a simple configuration option.
Please apply this patch in ubuntu, it doesn't really fix the problem, but at least allows it to be disabled easily, without disabling the entire housekeeping process. I've also submitted it upstream, where it will probably gather dust for years.
