Description

## What Happened

When scrolling with a touchpad in a folder with lots of photos, frame rate drops significantly so that the scrolling experience is not smooth. This only happens in grid view with thumbnails, but not in list view or column view. This does not happen in folders with lots of other types of content, like PDF files, even with thumbnails

## Expected Behavior

Scrolling in any folder should be smooth with touchpads

## Steps to Reproduce

1. Import lots of photos into a folder
2. Scroll in grid view
3. Observe. Repeat with folder full of PDF files or other types of files
