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
