It is, when you don't want to keep wasting money on more hard drives, or
you're using a laptop.  And I accidentally truncated that pasting.

du -h .thumbnails/
560M	.thumbnails/large
361M	.thumbnails/normal
1.9M	.thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory
2.0M	.thumbnails/fail
923M	.thumbnails/

It's keeping "failed" thumbnails.  I can't see a good reason for doing
that.  And that's a rather huge amount of drive space.

Doesn't seem to.

In my case, it's probably sufficient to just delete them at the end of a
session.  I usually only care about rapid browsing during a session, the
start-up isn't that important.
