I know that this has been discussed on the list before, but I am really
frustrated with the file picker used by all my Xfce and Gtk
applications.  It takes a number of seconds to open directories,
including ones that are not particularly large,  e.g. a directory which
only contains 58 files and subdirectories takes about five seconds
to open.

I do, but does that really justify this sluggishness?
