I’ll never understand why file explorers are so resource intensive and so slow. they’re getting a list of files like the text of the file name, maybe pulling a thumbnail from cache, and that’s it. they don’t need to read the metadata of every file in the folder you’re looking at. macos finder is even worse. i am often pausing for multiple seconds
