It hasn't changed. Never bothers me at all. I use "Folders" only trivially as I organize image files in Lr via keywords and collections. If I need to get to the folder that an original file is contained in, I just control-/right-click on the image and pick "show in folder in catalog" and Lr jumps me right there.
Adobe is due to release a v4.1 update very soon .. on the forums, Tom Hogarty was saying it might be this week ... to solve some of the v4.0 issues that have been reported. There's so much goodness in v4, however, that I'm just using it and not worrying too much about the occasional speed issue.
