The previous message on the discussion group mentioned speed problems
when using sshfs in the Finder.

I'm tinkering with my own FS, which talks to a remote device. I
noticed that if I didn't return kHasCustomIcon in  finderFlagsAtPath,
then the  Finder would try to read the first 4096 bytes of every file
in a directory. I presume this must be some quicklook style detection
to try and create an icon (I'm running under Leopard).

When talking to a remote device, reading the first block of every file
is pretty time consuming, so I suggest adding a note to the MacFuse
documentation encouraging implementors of remote filesystems to either
provide icons for each of the files, or using the mount options
suggested in the post mentioned above.
