That's still effectively unusable.
Ideally if the list can't display more than, say 50 files at a time
(depends on how big your screen is, etc), then it shouldn't touch more
than 50 files on disk. It has never really managed that however, and
maybe there are fundamental limitations in the file system that
prevent it optimising to that extent.
As a user I'd never put more than 1000 files in a folder if I can help
it, and that's well up from what you could practically achieve on Mac
OS 9-.
