It depends on the speed of the machine and may not be as severe with the released version of Hardy, as Nautilus overall seemed to speed up as the OS matured. Still, FORGET these icons on a Pentium 3 or an early Pentium 4(in the 1.8 GHZ class) unless you use IceWm instead of Metacity or Compiz. The windows opened by programs bog down at 1.8 GHZ, and all of Nautilus bogs down on these icons at 500 MHZ.
Nautilus windows are not bothered anywhere nearly as bad as things like Audacity file windows! Nautilus will just open and change locations a little slower, while it is difficult to scroll though a large directory in Audacity's file windows. On a 2.45 GHZ overclocked Athlon A64, the speed of loading any version of the icons is fast enough in Nautilus itself that few will notice this, but slower machines have trouble. Audacity file windows still have problems with large directories, though. Have not tried multicore machines. There is a drastic difference between the speed of loading these icons and a theme like Human or Gnome on an older machine, and a measurable but not bothersome(stopwatch class) difference(in Nautilus itself) on machines in the 2GHZ plus range. Also, if you use these icons on any machine, avoid using very large audio directories not divided into subdirectories. My "music" directory is like this, and even on my fastest machines I open this in Nautilus and drag the file into Audacity to avoid the "slow scroll" Audacity mess. Yes, the bug still exists. Set up a LARGE directory full of audio files and see what happend when you open it form Audacity. > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2008 04:16:53 +0000 > Subject: [Bug 188486] Re: New icons bog down audio directory windows in apps > > I can't reproduce this symptom in either 8.10 or 9.04; can you still? > > -- > New icons bog down audio directory windows in apps > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188486 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. _________________________________________________________________ Access your email online and on the go with Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/Explore/Hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_access_112008 -- New icons bog down audio directory windows in apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188486 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
