On Intrepid I also experience Nautilus "not responding", with one CPU (2.4GHz Quad) at 100% for several minutes.
I suspect it is enumerating and caching every item in every subfolder, because the time varies. E.g. /usr takes a looong time, while Documents doesn't. I don't really need to know how many items are in every single folder, Maybe that could be made an option; tradeoff detail for speed. -- (very) strange fix for slow change directory performance some people experience (could help find a fix?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
