Re: Nautilus is too slow :(

[Johnathan Bailes <johnathan bailes esi baesystems com>]

Here is an end-user that can attest to the speed of the new Nautilus.

It took on my 800MHZ Celeron laptop with 2.4.18 kernel and Gnome 1.4
Ximian packages nearly 10 seconds to open the first window.

Now with stock Gnome 2.0 packages from SuSE it took only 3 seconds for
the first window to come up and with the 2.0.4 Nautilus I compiled
myself it takes 2 seconds on average to open the first window on a
folder full of docs.  

Faster than the 3.0.2 Konquerer my wife uses on her KDE desktop by a
mile.
