Not sure if it is the same problem but, opening folders with many files takes a long time with Nautilus. I've measured the time it takes for folders with different amount of files to open with Nautilus and Gnome Commander. It is ~6 times faster with GC on average.
With Nautilus ~3500 files tales 6 seconds ~7000 files takes 18 seconds ~15000 files takes 22 seconds ~20000 files takes 30 seconds With Gnome Commander ~3500 files tales <1 second ~7000 files takes 1.5 seconds ~15000 files takes 3 seconds ~20000 files takes 6 seconds These are mostly small dicom files (MRI images). I am using a 8 core 3.4Ghz and 16Gigs of RAM with Ubuntu 11.04 64-bits. Also, of course, copying the files around is absurdly slow and makes nautilus unusable... but that would be another bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670524 Title: many ooo-files slow down folder reading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/670524/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
