[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 950950, member: 24160"] It is not a bug. For all of those items to appear instantly, all the time, they would have to be loaded into memory and stay there all the time. Which means that memory space would not be available for apps that you are actually running. It would not be inconsequential to me and I am sure not inconsequential with many other folks that only have 1 GB of memory in their machine and some of those with PPC machines running Leopard with even less memory. I have over 150 items in my apps folder, nearly 500 in the documents folder and there could be as many as another 50-100 in my downloads folder at a time. Personally, I do not want all those 750 images loaded into RAM on a permanent basis. Not that I know exactly what they've done to improve memory usage between 10.5 & 10.6, but if 10.6 is dumping that stuff from memory more frequently and only loading them when required, then I say that is an improvement, not a fault. The same ones asking for this would want Finder to instantly display these images also. Now we're not talking about a few hundred, we're talking about a few thousand thumbnails being stored in RAM or the info required to display the appropriate thumbnail. [/QUOTE]
