Public bug reported:

Hello

There is a problem when switch to "Transitions" or "Effects" tab at
first time, It's slow a little bit, And the problem will be worst if we
have a lot of "Transitions" or "Effects".

For test purpose I added about 300 images in "transitions" directory,
the switch became slower. Try it please, just make copies of existed
transitions and see what happen :-)

The problem comes from this line

pbThumb = pbThumb.scale_simple(80, 62, gtk.gdk.INTERP_BILINEAR)

So, I made a small patch which deals with this problem by using cache,
simply create a cache from the image then use the cached version as a
thumb.

If this patch is accepted we will need to write a code to deal with
cache generating, but temporary I wrote a small file to generate the
cache (In attach : thumb-generator.py), put it in "openshot" directory
then run it.

Sorry for my English :-)
