Drawing Multiple Images Effeciently

I'm working on a graphics app. There will be a form that allows the user to find/select a image from hundreds of stored art. My question is: How can I "load" hundreds of images effeciently? I know MS gives you a listviewbox to work with but it is terribly slow and cumbersome when dealing with so many images.
Popular graphics programs like PrintShop gives you hundreds of images in one area with seemingly no load time. Any tips on how to accomplish this?

Multithreading.

If you are atlking about CListView in MFC you need to know that MFC is really C and it is single threaded, hence the big delays.

MFC was Microsoft's first crack at converting the Win32 API to C++ and they did a really poor job. MFC was released 15 years ago ast version 1.0 and itr is still 1.0. Do not use this thing.
