As far as I remember... If you have Baloo indexing the folder, it extracts the
file metadata (and hold the results in its index). That means that Dolphin can
ask Baloo for the data - for the whole folder - and can use it when populating
columns, if you have chosen to list metadata, or sort on particular metadata.

If Baloo is not running (or you have excluded the folder), Dolphin has to go to
each file "there and then" and extract the info it wants. Could easily be that
you see a pause while this is happening.
