That is 4.7 seconds too long! :) >I have the last of >the white iMacs (circa 2007) with the maximum amount of RAM (3 to 4 >GB).

If I were trying to see all of them at once, ok, but less than 60 visible in a list? That should be instantaneous. Maybe it is better on Snow Leopard... This is why I store all my third party applications in their own folder in the Applications folder (and also subfolder by type). Keeps the wait to a minimum. Chris --
