Description James Willcox 2004-03-05 01:41:21 UTC 
ggv is using a modified egg-recent-model.c which calls gnome_vfs_uri_exists
on each item.  This is causing some pretty serious performance problems
(like ggv taking 10 seconds to start).  I recommend using the stock
egg-recent-model from libegg CVS.

Another option, would be to change the patch to only stat the files in
the 'filtered' list, which would be pretty small considering ggv filters
out everything except postscript files.  However, I still think this will
be bad for performance since you have no idea how long it will to test
for the existence of random uris.

agreed: I never noticed that I test each and every file - thanks for
spotting this... I have changed the code to test only the filtered
URIs (in egg_recent_model_filter()).
