At the moment, I just can recommend to try it yourself. The feeling is just refreshing :-) I have an older netbeans repo [1] on my disk here and the icons just appear very fast (at least it feels like that). And this is quite crappy hardware here: Intel Pentium 4 at 2.4 GHz with 1 GB RAM running on WinXP SP3. I will see if I can provide some numbers. But as I said: no overlays on directories, currently (maybe, we could provide a config option to turn that off anyway?). What's also interesting to see is, that explorer draws all the normal icons immediately first and then the overlays (for the cases where there is a noticeable delay at all). IIRC, I've previously seen "empty" directories in explorer for quite a moment, until any icons appear at all -- when using the current legacy thg shell extension implementation.
