[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#430380: digikam: REALLY slow on big albums

[John Goerzen]

Package: digikam
Version: 2:0.9.2~beta3-1
Severity: important

Sometime after upgrading to 0.9.2, digikam got REALLY slow on big albums
-- or tags that selected lots of photos.  top showed kio_digikamalbum
using resources, and stracing it revealed that it was reading every byte
of every file in the album.  It did that before displaying anything
about the album's contents.  That is, it wasn't just rebuilding
thumbnails.
