It def shouldn't take that long, have you tried cleaning up your comp and running a defrag, also if you have winxp go to start >> search on the left hand side, click on all files and folders.
click on more advanced options on the bottom left, make sure it's ticked where it asks, search hidden files and folders.
back at the top where it says search by all or any criteria below: type in the word Thumbs and then hit search.
It will come up with loads of files with in your SI folder, delete all the of thumbs files, that should help things run a bit faster.
