Hi guys, I found a slowdown in Nautilus that is not related to the 2D acceleration bug in the Nvidia drivers (I'm using the nv driver from XFree86, which works fine.)
The slowdown happens when Nautilus is building the context menu for a file. I don't remember how it was in previous versions of Nautilus but in 2.2 it does take some time. To reproduce, right-click on a file. You'll see how the context menu pops up immediately, but all menu items will be disabled (grayed out). After a small pause most menu items will become active, and in some cases, the size of the menu will change, i.e. new entries will be added to it. I am seeing this on a relatively fast machine, so I guess that on slower machines this is more noticeable. This is a minor thing, of course, but I just wanted to know if others see the same and what they think about it. Shouldn't the menu be built completely before it is displayed? I would think that it would actually save some time to display the menu once, instead of twice as it seems to be doing. Cheers, Eloy.-
