In my experience I've found that QLThumbnailImageCreate()
significantly outperforms CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex(). I
speculate that this is because QLThumbnailImageCreate() talks to a
daemon process that keeps thumbnails cached in memory even after your
process exits, rather than re-creating thumbnails from disk upon each
request.

Consider using the 'purge' command between your tests to get more
authentic benchmarks, and perhaps killing the Quick Look daemon.
