I made a stupid mistake. I was opening the same folder after changing the thumbnails option. Sorry about that.
This is a more accurate assessment. Same situation as before, regardless of the "Show thumbnails" status: -Nautilus (1st time opening the folder) takes 43 seconds -Nautilus (2nd time opening the folder) takes 3 seconds I've tried it with Ubuntu 13.04 Beta1 and the results are about the same. It seems whatever nautilus is doing the first time it opens a folder (but not the second time) is what is causing the delay. ** Tags added: raring -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869793 Title: Nautilus is very slow when opening folders with many files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/869793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
