I reopened the bug report because this is still an issue and has not
changed over the last three Ubuntu releases (Karmic to Maverick). I am
currently running Ubuntu Maverick on a Intel i5 quad core CPU and
Nautilus is still extremely slow to open. The first time Nautilus opens
a folder it takes about 2-3 seconds until the window finally shows up.
Also, as Mohamed pointed out above, folders that contain a large number
of files are very slow to load, and take at least 5 seconds, even on
this machine.
I have tested this on a wide variety of systems, from high end desktop
PCs (>= quad core) to laptops (>= dual core 1.6 mhz) to netbooks (single
core atom cpus), in various Linux distributions (Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.10,
Fedora 12 and SUSE 11.2) and in 32 as well as 64 bit architectures, and
I can confirm that this is not hardware related as Nautlius is very slow
in all these configurations. Nautilus is typically slower by a ratio of
2:1 to 3:1 when compared to Windows Explorer (Windows 7) on dual boot
systems. This is very much an issue considering that there are many fine
Linux file managers out there that outperform Nautilus by far.
Please let me know if I can provide any more information.
