I'd like to have this on HEAD. But you're already working on that.

For 1.0.5, I think we should either do this or fix the performance problem.

I think that's the right design. Maybe we can implement that design for
1.0.5. Shouldn't be too tricky.

We need something like this in the main code, don't you think? I don't
really have a feel for it -- I don't use systems with NFS myself.

I'd like to see this gross hack in HEAD Nautilus until we move monitoring
into gnome-vfs (the "non-gross" fix).

What's the chance of getting this into HEAD?

I could see this on HEAD.

I think this is right for HEAD too. I was under the impression that the
changes to gnome-vfs meant there really was no "searching" going on any
more.
