Slow load time for large folders, dependent only on number of files and folder size
Posted: 09 Sep 2019 19:16
Using XYplorer 20.10 on Windows 10. I have xyplorer.exe and xycopy.exe listed in my Virus & threat protection settings.
I love how much better this looks than the Windows explorer, but it just loads folders so slowly. I timed the following folders, which take the same time whether I view it in "list" view or with thumbnails enabled:
Folder 1: 432 image files, 1.8 GB: 2 seconds
Folder 2: 67 video files, 9GB: 2 seconds
Folder 3: 17 video files, 47GB: 2.5 seconds
Folder 4: 114 video files, 59GB: 8 seconds
Folder 5: 74 video files, 132GB: 10 seconds
It doesn't get any faster or slower if I go back and reload the folders, or if I restart XYplorer, or if I restart windows. I copied the folders to a Samsung 850 Evo SSD, a 7200rpm HDD, and a USB 3.0 External drive, and they all load in the same time which means it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. I've played with the settings and nothing I disable helps the load times. If I go to other folders with barely any files or a few megabytes of files, XYplorer loads them instantly. But as soon as the folders start getting somewhat large, it lags. Any ideas?
