Public bug reported:

In Qt <= 5.5 all images coming from custom image providers (i.e. not
directly loaded from either the web or a local file) share the same
thread, this means that if one is very slow will stall the rest without
any way to fix it.

Qt 5.6 introduces QQuickAsyncImageProvider that allows for providers to
run their own threads and thus not block the main one that does the
dispatching.

If we backport QQuickAsyncImageProvider to our current Qt release we can
easily fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/thumbnailer/+bug/1425043 by
implementing an async provider for the thumbnailer ( proof of concept at
https://code.launchpad.net/~aacid/thumbnailer/asyncprovider )
