The problem is not the I/O. The problem is that each view of that
directory gets a lot of file_changed signals, which leads to every view
updating it's menus. Due to braindeadness in Bobobo, updating the menus
takes a lot of time, so performance drops rapidly as you get more views
displaying the directory.
