I was wondering how displaying in the Explorer on Win7 can be a lot faster than doing the same task with Nautilus on Ubuntu.

Now my Question: Where is the difference? I got a SSD in my machine so there shouldn't be any lag. Is Nautilus actually
not indexing everything and has to look it up every time I open up a Folder?
Oh...and where has that Spellchecking gone?
hi
i bet i can tell you what's your problem --> it's the structure of your folder. i think you get a couple of files in one directory (right ?). if you access the folders the system have to
lock them (unix/linux) isn't working about - ok nothing will hapen. the access is atomic. if i am wrong tell me.
create your directories: your_home/subfolder_bla ... subfolder_blu (even structured).
ciao
p.s. you can speed up the performance with mount options (assumed you got a well structured partitions: e.g. own / - own /home - own /usr ... partition and so on)
have fun
