Lucid on my laptop has the same problem. Every time it resume from
suspend, g-s-d spend a huge amount of time on check the cache, where
there are 28,000 files.

1) It is not just a problem of too-high-limits. Indeed, on my laptop,
maximum_size=512, which is the default value, however, the actual cache
size is

  du -sm .thumbnails/
  664   .thumbnails/

which is well above the limit.
 
2) It shouldn't perform check too frequent. If thumbnails will expire in 180 
days, they only need to be checked once a few days.

3) If it do have to check files, this task should be done when the
computer is not idle, instead of the busy moments of every booting or
every resuming.
