Slowness in kde dialogs (opening / selecting file, etc)?

Every time I have to select a file from a huge directory (with lots of images, to upload something in chrome for example), the kde dialog freezes for a couple of minutes... (or maybe more!)

Why is it? kde tries to search for a new files and generate thumbnails or something?

Even when the kde dialog is in "detail file" view, why it tries to do that? I will not see any thumbnail...

Any idea? how to improve this? can I fully disable thumbnails?

Disabling Baloo might help.
