I have different expiriences. Opening a folder with 8,000 jpg images in nautilus takes ages, because *every* file in the folder is *opened* (although the icons have already been created) which would not be necessary if mimetype was detected by extension.

The thing is, the extensions are a problem, both theoretically and
practically (we've all seen how users of Other Operating Systems get
bitten by this often  - may I say "e-mail worm"?).
As has been pointed out several times before on this list, theese 
problems come for *hiding the extension*, which in fact is a horrible 
default in Windows.
The extensions are *not* a problem (except that you don't seem to like 
them :-)
