Thanks for testing this. I have about 1500 videos (on hard drive) and it 
takes between 1 and 2 seconds. With 5500 videos I would expect no more 
than 7 seconds.

I can investigate using a lazy load for videos. That may conflict with 
the directory listing scheme I have, where directories are listed and 
you can drill down.

Do you use directories?

When it takes a long time, how many rows are reported (at the top level 
each direcory is a row)?

Does clicking on a directory to see its contents also take a long time?

Does clicking back on Videos at the top after looking at a subdirectory 
also take a long time?
