Which doesn't imply that it can't be done better. An inefficient solution is therefore no reasoning against fixing a feature. > And I think that a file-listing is relatively timing critical.

For me, this is interrupting some real-time process (playback, communication with a chip on a bus, data corruption etc). A file browser should be fast, but it's definitely not time-critical -- nothing bad will happen if it takes slightly longer. Except maybe the user getting annoyed. But I'd rather call that time-relevant. It's not critical. - Dominik
