Basically, before the filesystemmodel branch, I dreaded using the file chooser to visit my ~ or ~/Downloads (two big dumpsters in my file system). Now both appear semi-instantaneously after clicking on those folders, and they are not slowed down by loading thumbnails (something which was a big problem for me before). An eyeballed test in a directory of 10K empty files showed 3 seconds for the new branch, versus 9 seconds for the old branch. I'd love it if people could test slow networked directories. > Of course, there is some risk, so we need to test and review > carefully.

You may want to start by reading the big comment near the beginning of gtkfilesystemmodel.c, and then by looking at the actual code.
