It would be nice to use multiple CPUs (if available) for rebuilding thumbnails.  Maybe allowing the user to specify how many threads he wants for rebuilding?

Paul,

Thumbnails are generated by a separate process using KIO-slave.

I rebuilded thumbnails on a 2xdual-core CPU PC, and it's true that only one processor is used at the same time. 
I can only see one kio_digikamthumbnail process (not multi-threaded) to do the job. So, it doesn't use multiple processors...
But maybe kio-slave can't handle multi-threaded jobs ?
Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2017-07-24 14:59:26 UTC 
The KIO slave dedicated to generate thumbnails is now replaced by a multi-threaded interface since 5.0.0.
