And if it isn't? What use are icons jumping in the view all the time?
Unless item come very slow (eg. a repaint/2 sec then), I don't mind
waiting for the items.
Just tested a ftp dir on ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch with 234 items.
Although the items come fast (I have adsl), I see four (or more)
repaintings. It's ugly on my local X, but also quite expensive on a remote
X desktop (I use Cygnus XFree, when I'm at work).
