Any thread full of pictures is going to be slow. Each gif is actually a collection of a bunch of pics, kind of like an old school flip-book, so even though they are usually small, you may be loading 10, 20 or 100 of each image. There may be some intelligence in the apps that save them as a single file to not save each full copy, but only save the pixels that change, but it's still going to be a ton of data per pic. Also, gifs even when they aren't animated are generally larger than comparable jpgs.
