[Bug 66249] listing a large folder very slow on vfat partition

[Tiemen Ruiten]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

When I open a large folder (+2000 folders and files, mainly mp3-files)
Nautilus hangs for minutes before it shows the contents of the folder.
Sometimes Nautilus crashes altogether. It's a vfat partition. When I set
Nautilus to "Icon view", it's significantly faster, but still not near
as fast as I'd expect it to be.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
