With 4000 files totalling ~4GB, startup time is ~2s. With 8000 files totalling ~8GB, startup time is ~4s. With 16000 files totalling ~16GB, startup time is ~8s. Therefore, delay seems proportional to the number of files. With 4000 files totalling ~4GB, startup time is ~2s. With 4000 files totalling ~8GB, startup time is ~2s. With 4000 files totalling ~16GB, startup time is ~2s. With 4000 files totalling ~32GB, startup time is ~2s. Therefore, delay doesn't seem proportional to file size, particularly. With 16000 html files (~65MB), startup time is ~7s. With 16000 text files (~65MB), startup time is ~7s. With 16000 pdf files (~1.9GB), startup time is ~5s. With 16000 png files (~257MB), startup time is ~5s. Therefore, file type does seem also to have an effect. > Does stracing the Thunar process gives a bit of information?
