Summary:

The desktop pictures preference pane takes too long to show the additional folders that I add under "Folders".


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Drag and drop a folder full of images onto the "Folders" item in the desktop pictures preference pane;
2. Quit system preferences without selecting an image;
3. Re-open the desktop pictures preference pane;


Expected Results:

The newly added folder is visible at launch, and the image previews load quickly.


Actual Results:

Only the default list of items is visible, with any added folders not appearing for between 5-25 seconds.

I often assume that the preference pane has actually lost the folder, and that I need to re-add it.
