Is there some kind of problem with the mounted drive? Is it perhaps 
either a NTFS filesystem mounted via FUSE (slow) or a sub-optimally 
mounted network share (in this case slow)?

I specifically let my Ubuntu workstation generate thumbnails for all 
mounted and/or remote filesystems despite their size because I too like 
pretty thumbnails in my operating system. Hey it's 2018 and every other 
operating system can do it with no problems so why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Even my NFS mounted directories with 30Gb+ mkv files thumbnail perfectly 
well for me with the disclaimer that once in a blue moon I have to 
`killall tumblerd` because the thumbnail previews seem to have stopped 
doing their thing properly.

Potentially there actually isn't a problem here per se, and it just is a 
veeeery slow filesystem for some legitimate reason.

Cheers
