gmc performance on NFS disks.

[Sri Ramkrishna <sri aracnet com>]

I'm trying to run gmc on my home directory that nfs mounted.  I'm seeing
some performance problems.  It's hard to figure out what it is.  I have a
feeling that since gmc is running on my nfs mounted home directory that
even if I run gmc on something like /tmp, it's going to stat my home
drive, thus slowing things down.

The symptoms are that the panel takes a very long time to load up.  The
desk top icons come up immediately though.  It seems to have problems
loading up the pixmaps because thats what I see it taking the longest.
NOw I've run gmc on my box at home, and it's very fast loading up the
directory.  Same config however at home and at work.
