Comment (by stutty at gmail.com):

 Alas I am very unfamiliar with the workings of the code, so my solution is
 only a proposal. I did try your suggestion, but I still get pauses on
 exiting the recording.

 My only comment would be that:

 In general for my system the only time I would want the frontend to cause
 thumbnail generation is in the case where no thumbnail currently exists
 (Although I would probably be happy with a blank in this case!). A
 responsive GUI is more important than frame exact thumbnails to me.

 Ideally thumbnail generation would be a background backend task such that
 the frontend is never stalled waiting for the pixmap to be generated, as
 seems to be the case at the moment.
