I have some pretty big folders too.  Everything seems pretty snappy,
especially the search and vfolder stuff.  BUT, when I hit the Expunge
button, suddenly I'm teleported back to my 486, waiting for a kernel
compile to finish.  For those of you who never experienced this
pleasure, I usually have time to walk down the street, rent a DVD, and
eat a turkish pizza before it is done...

What's up with Expunge?  Is it mostly a factor of hardware, or is
something 'less than optimal'?
