I still want to use threads for filesystem stuff because that can potentially be slow, and I hate the idea of the UI blocking. Like, someone could be reading their music through NFS over IPSec over 802.11b, as I have in the past...not the fastest thing in the world :) Plus threads are a good abstraction for this kind of thing, where you can have system calls that block. So what I'm saying really is there's a happy medium here, and I think just two threads is it. > That sounds good, but remember that the overhead in monitoring a huge > number of files is not in fam (which monitors the directory above) but > in gnome-vfs. Yeah...we'll make teuf fix it :)
