I have this same problem on a different phone and its driving me crazy lol. Found any solution?

I also have this problem and with only 1.4gb the file fills the phone immediately.  Please address this issue as my phone is virtually unusable.  I have to clear the file to use other apps.  I have to wait half an hour to regenerate the file to use the camera our three gallery.

Me, too!

Thumbnail files become bigger than the combined size of all other photos, so it has to be a bug.
Gallery and Camera become extremly sluggish after a while (because they have to read those massive thumbnail files?). They become responsive after deleteing those files. But the files become autocreated, and keep growing again.

Only workaround seem to ba a couple of hacks that stop the Gallery App from re-creating those darn files (e.g. chmod a-w, or creating directories with those filenames names)

as far as I know it's a bug from Android, that spread to all devices and there's no official solution at the moment.
The only workaround to temporary fix it is trough command line:
1) delete these files and make the .thumbnail folder read-only
2) create a script that every now and since cleanup this folder

Unfortunately, the CPU consumption will still be there in both cases. Try to use as less as possible the official gallery, and use instead another one (e.g. xperia gallery, or any app)
