I think the hysteresis might have an effect. With a .1 second hysteresis you
are much more likely to see the links appear with the wrong icon first than
with a long one. But then again, once all the files are discovered, the
hysteresis doesn't matter any more, so perhaps I'm wrong.

It does seem like we threw the baby out with the bath water if we made all
directory views slower so that desktop links can work in a fancier way.
