I can confirm this bug is still present in nautilus 2.8.4-1.

If I have gnome assistive technologies enabled nautilus becomes
extremely slow working on large directories.

In example, if I try to browse /usr/bin, which contains over 3600 files,
nautilus hangs with the processor running at 100% for minutes. I'm not
sure how long it would take because after 15 minutes I usually kill the
process.

The problem is also on delete, if the thrash has lots of files it takes
forever to delete files in any folder.

I took me weeks to understand this was related to assistive
technologies, until yesterday I was pondering to switch to a different
file manager thinking my laptop (P4 mobile, 3GHz, 1GB RAM) wasn't up to
the job anymore.

If it's not possible to fix it perhaps it shouldn't be enabled by
default (not sure this is the case but I can't recall ever enabling it)
and there should be a warning that performance will possibly degrade.


Please, let me know if I need to open a new bug report or I should post
more details about my system.


Have a nice day,


Paolo.
