Image custom field optimization. Virtuemart 3

[Popandos]

The problem is that if virtuemart has many medias, adding a several image custom fields cause admin page to completely stuck while reopening current product. I think this happend due to every image custom field loads a whole medias to list and such response runs again and again in count of added custom fields. This problem comes from Virtuemart 2.
This could be fixed in such ways :
1) by adding to a custom filter a filter field by images folder location. By example if i want just add colors for product it is no need to load here a whole list of medias. Just which i load to an indicated folder in site structure.
2) caching of media list. Just load a list of medias once. After adding next image custom field data will be loaded from cache.
Thanks for understanding.

PS: it will be very useful for virtuemart 3 community if virtuemart will be uploaded to github with working git flow. If it will be done i think many enthusiasts will be able to improve virtuemart fast and with benefit by making pull requests. I think virtuemart development suffers of not enough time of main developers, guys(

I was wondering if you'd found a solution or workaround for this?
I'm struggling in VM3 with 5k products with multiple images and image custom fields ... the image CF dropdown is grinding to a halt because all images are in the same directory. Being able to specify a different directory (in the image CF?) would be handy.
