I don't know if they fixed it, but F-Spot had terrible performance
problems when trying to import large numbers of pictures, when I tried it
a while back, including trying to make new copies and using so much memory
that it paged heavily (I tried to import my collection of 2000 or so
images, taken with a 2Mpixel camera).  This was at least a year ago and
maybe things have improved since then, though.
