Degradation? Yes. Graceful degradation? Well...maybe not.

I was sure that the bottleneck was reading the photos from disk, as I could hear the disk being hit a lot, so I commented out the "set the filename" line. Result? Essentially no speed difference.

So then I commented out the code that sets *any* information in each group (title, etc.), so all that's happening is the photo groups are being created and positioned. Result? The 1124 photo version dropped to 15 seconds.

Hmmmm. As Wouter said it looks like there's some room for improvement.

2) Getting file info on a single file is too slow. You have to get the detailed file info for the whole directory and then find the particular file you want.
