When autocompleting, it takes far longer than it seems like it should. For
example, I have 5 files in my home directory (10 counting .files). If I type
"~/c", and then press tab, it takes a full 3 seconds to complete the single
possible match. I do have a slow computer (P800), but doing a listing of my
home directory only takes half a second at most... the autocomplete should
take no longer. The output from 'ls ~/c*' is nearly instantaneous.
Even if I do the autocomplete twice in a row (no hard drive seeking the
second time) it still takes a full 3 seconds to autocomplete. It's doing a
heck of a lotta processing for such a simple task... I think the algorithm
is searching things it need not search.
