gnomevfs-ls is fast. I tried it on the drive immediately after mounting it and it works pretty much instantly. If I mount the drive, then try to open it in nautilus, then run gnomevfs-ls on the drive, it works straight away, even while nautilus is frozen.
I haven't thumbnailed the files on the drive, but there is about 80 GB in 1800 files, so I need to find some spare room elsewhere before I can move the files off the disk to test it on a blank one.
Nautilus in Feisty doesn't experience this delay when I first open this disk, by the way.
