How many files and/or sub directories do you typically have in  
"problematic" directories? I assume the number is high since you  
mention it. Is it a regular local native file system? It might be that  
it is not stat'ing alone but also filtering and populating the list  
that takes time. One solution might be to cache the contents of  
visited directories and add some sort of monitoring to update the  
content when needed in the background.

I assume you know you can save linked content to a predefined download  
folder without using any file dialog.
