>Here's an interesting one if you add a large number of files to a Mac viewable 
volume under unix, when a macintosh comes to view the contents of this volume it 
builds the desktop file to add the new files.  If there are a large number of 
files this can take some time before the file list/Icons appears.

Mac connects.

I've written a small utility that rebuilds the desktop database based on any 
files in a given volume that have their BNDL bit set.

If anyone's interested please let me know and I'll see about packaging it up for 
public consumption.
