Improve the performance when creating previews for thousands of items by the following strategy:
- The previews for currently visible items are created before
the previews for invisible items.
- If the user changes the visible area by using the scrollbars,
all pending previews get paused. As soon as the user stays
on the same position for a short delay, the previews are
resumed. Also in this case the previews for the visible items
are generated first.
