Comment 9 for bug 197381

Using Squeeze 0.2.3 on Debian Sid (amd64), I opened linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 you can get the file at http://kernel.org/

It was incredibly slow >15 seconds to open the archive, during this time Squeeze just sat there blankly. I thought it was dead. In actual fact it was just going through the archive (collecting the file structure I imagine). Opening the archive a second time I saw that during this time the little foot in the upper right corner was animated and showing that Squeeze was working.

Perhaps the little foot animation is a little too subtle.

Opening the archive in Xarchiver and found that it opened there in a similar amount of time, so it appears that the Squeeze is working similarly to Xarchiver. However, the notifications to the user could be more noticeable.
