Hi Greg,
As I mentioned to Michel, it must be the short name support that is slowing it down, I just tried on a 20846 files 135Gb folder while the computer is busy FTPing and compressing another folder (20000+ files/130Gb+) (very CPU intensive work) and I can sort by date, name, size, copy a group of random files and paste them in same folder then delete them and it works fine. (Windows 7 64)
