Comment 3 for bug 1004601

Hi Mathieu,

It may well be an unfortunate interaction with Nautilus. But the image thumbnails are not the issue: I tried it on a single folder, that contained a single folder. No thumbnail. Even if there were, it wouldn't explain this effect.

For comparison, I used Nautilus to navigate my hard disk file system. It's not exactly fast on this netbook, but directories with say 60 items or so (many items with thumnails) open in 2-3 seconds. As opposed to 2-3 *minutes* using OBEX.

So
  * OBEX itself is pretty fast
  * Nautilus is ... not *that* slow
  * OBEX + Nautilus is *unusably* slow.

It was not this bad in Ubuntu 10.10.

Somebody isn't talking to somebody else right.
