Well, I'm sure it works. I don't have a quesiton about that. It just seems "slow" to list.
When I go to my Documents folder or my media folder, there's always a long pause and a bunch of disk activity while it loads the contents. I'm not sure why.
Go there in a shell and list them.
You are confusing the time it takes to allocate huge chunks of memory to build a listview and sus out what type of file each is (in order to show the correct icon) with the time it takes to acutally do ls -l.
ls also does sorting, so at best you would do this: #include <dirent.h> int main(void) { DIR *x = opendir("."); while(readdir(x)); closedir(x); } and time that, both with cold and hot dirs. -`J' -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
