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.

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?

<p>I do use directories, yes. Lots of them:</p>
<ul>
<li>The top level is alphabetic in groups (0-9, A-B, C-D, E-F,
G-H, I-J, K-L, M, N-O-P-Q, R-S, T, U-V-W-X-Y-Z). So 12
directories at the top level.</li>
<li>The above directories contain movies, but also subdirectories
(for TV box sets).</li>
<li>The TV box set directories can contain subdirectories for each
season. Single-season series don't have these subdirectories.<br>
</li>
</ul>

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

Not sure what you're asking. Is there an incantation I should run to
produce the answer?<br>

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

No, that is instant.<br>

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

<p>No.</p>
