I just tried this program:
-----
#!/usr/bin/python
for i in range (1, 20000):
file = open ('file%d' % i, 'w')
file.write ('hello world')
file.close ()
------
ie. create 20,000 files with some small amount of text in. If I start
gedit and click File / Open, it takes about 2 seconds for the file
browser to appear and about 20 seconds before all the icons have been
drawn. This is gedit 2.28.0 (the one in current Ubuntu) on a
5-year-old desktop PC.
