XMP support performance problemm

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Refresh all albums

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I'v decided to re import all my albums (21224 photos) to synchronize XMP
and IPTC tags. But it is taking tooooo much time, after almost 5 hours it
imported only ~8000 photos.

All we waiting for XMP support in pyexiv2 and it's really cool that we have
some implementation before it. But it's still so annoying.

In general may be it's good idea to store in database modification time for
each file and do nothing with it if file has no modifications ? So if I
want to sync tags I can just refresh thumbnails, but refreshing albums will
take much less time (I hope).

You might de-activate XMP synchronization using edition/option when you don't 
need
it. I'll improve this part howether : pyexiv2 is about 20x faster than 
exiftool, and
we need to call it 3times in order to merge tags... 
I'm looking at it.
