Ok, maybe we are on to something: I have folder ~/Documents with 20 items total of which 11 folder I have ~/Documents/MyDrawings with 10 files a few images, a few doc files Test A 1 ~/Documents is in List mode - Clicking on MyDrawings takes 5 seconds to open. MyDrawings is in *icon* mode 2 going back to ~/Documents takes again 5 seconds On system monitor I see hardly disk activity. The CPU (i5) occupies ALL cores. RAM uses is 25% (1 of 4GB) Test B 1 ~/Documents I put in Icon mode - Clicking on MyDrawings takes *still* 5 seconds to open. MyDrawings is still in icon mode 2 going back to ~/Documents is Fast ! 3 - again clicking on MyDrawings is Fast ! Conclusion, we have some weird behavior: a. Switching *to* AND *from* a folder in List mode is slow. You would argue, that switching FROM a folder in List mode should be same as switching FROM a folder in Icon mode, but that is not the case. Leaving a folder kills the CPU ! b. All folders in Icon mode is fast. c. as said before, using filebrowser in list mode is always fast, no problems showing file details like sizes, icons and so on ! -- 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/1001578 Title: Nautilus on SSD is slower than on external HDD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1001578/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1001578] Re: Nautilus on SSD is slower than on external HDD
I have had the same problem with a new install and fully updated 12.04 as of yestarday. I was using a OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SSD (with new firmware 1.4.1.3). I just ended up imaging the whole disk over to a normal HDD and its much better now. Just as a few side notes, I was using it in a older HP desktop (5800 I think) that does not support AHCI, but it was a brand new SSD, never been used before, so it should of been running better then a HDD... especially this older 80GB one.

[Bug 1001578] Re: Nautilus on SSD is slower than on external HDD
1. filesystem is ext4 2. view modes have all same problem. 3. extra test: using Truecrypt folder is also much slower on 12.04 with Nautilus than on 10.10 where I came from. A folder with let's say 20 200K pictures takes about 10 seconds to open, with full CPU. So behaviour on Truecrypt is same as on SSD. Again, my 12.04 install is basic and straightforward. Maybe this helps: The only thing that I can think of that was not straightforward is the installation process itself. I could not install 12.04 directly, which was for me a first since many installs since version 9. The installer would say no space left or something, even though SSD was brandnew and I gave it whole disk, in one full partition. However, when I tried, installation of 11.10 went smooth, and then upgrade to 12.04 also ok -- 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/1001578 Title: Nautilus on SSD is slower than on external HDD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1001578/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
