there are 488 items (files + folders): ls -l --> about 2 seconds thunar --> about 5 seconds vlc 2 --> nearly 2 minutes!
vlc 1.x.x started in some seconds (similar to thunar). anyway what vlc does is not a simple file listing as BEFORE playing a lot of network activity is visible (a quick peack of 700-1200 kilobyte/seconds in download and then 270-300 kilobyte/seconds in download and about 13 kilobyte/seconds in upload with no network activity related to other software). as i said before is not a cache issue as the same file moved to a subfolder, where there is no other file, starts in a couple of seconds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995696 Title: VLC: slow start if folder has lots of files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/995696/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
