Description David campbell 2008-03-11 06:56:03 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Nautilus has major problems viewing directories of tiff files.  It hangs and is
otherwise dreadfully slow even on high performance hardware with lots of RAM. 
This is a serious problem for business users like myself who have a large number
of tiff scans (paperless office).

Steps to reproduce:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a directory
2. Save http://www.aaa.net.au/campbell/tt.tif into the directory as tt.tif
3. Run this little script to make another 99 copies of the file:  a=1; while [
$a -lt 100 ]; do cp tt.tif tt$a.tif; a=`expr $a + 1`; done
4. Now view the directory with nautilus and observe the awful slowness
5. Now change the view to list view and observe how dreadful the slowness is
6. Monitor CPU utilisation and watch it up at 100%
7. Also check scrollbar performance


Actual results:
Dreadful slowness / unusability

Expected results:
Normal thumbnailing and reasonable performance

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
This may boil down to something with libtiff but I'm not sure.
