Of course, the 43 seconds are the default behavior. If you disable the "Show thumbnails" option in nautilus preferences, the time goes down to 3 seconds.

Maybe adding an option to disable thumbnails when the folder is bigger than X files would solve it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869793 Title: Nautilus is very slow when opening folders with many files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/869793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
