I'm sorry, I don't understand the question.

Today, if you do a refresh in one window, both windows get updated, but 
the I/O is done only once.

If you open a second window to the same location, however, the process of 
opening the new window causes Nautilus to get fresh contents (which do get 
displayed in both windows), and that's because of feedback from Nautilus 
users who specifically didn't want stale contents in new windows.

The way to avoid this completely is to put in a check and not do any of 
this reloading at all when FAM is working. This is a no-compromises 
complete fix, and I'd like someone to do it.
