For all I know, you can disable header scanning by simply switching to view 'Icons' or view 'List' (menu 'View->View as->Icons' or 'F9' key).
But I assume that you do not want to switch between the views all the time. Perhaps an option 'Do not show thumbnails if more than xxx files in folder' would help. Just an idea, perhaps there's better ways...

Sounds like a good suggestion to me. But rather than three radio buttons I think that there should be two radio buttons
(o) Save options on exit
( ) Never save options
and a 'Save options now' button.
