Slower than Classic version when browsing folder

On a "normal" PC today: It doesn't matter.

My specs:
- i5-3550 @ 3.30 GHz
- 32GB RAM
- SSD
- AMD/ATI Radeon 6770

Folder: 747 RAW files (.CR2) @ 20.2 MPixels = 19.08 GB on storage

Thumbs are generated in:
XnWiew Classic: 45 secs (Thumb quality: JPEG - High quality)
XnWiew MP: 40 secs (Thumb quality: WebP - High quality)

So MP is 'faster'.

During the thumbs building, anywhere where I go with the scroll bar the thumbs are generated on the fly and shown with a lag under 0,5 sec. Classic slightly but noticeably slower than MP. That's why I said it doesn't matter because anything I want to see (generated or not) is displayed with a max lag of under 0,5 sec for the entire screen (!).

Display of any screen if the thumbs are already generated is done without any noticeable lag.

Hints:
- Buy a SSD.
- Use WebP as a thumb format.
- Use a decent CPU
- Use a decent VGA
