I save all my files to the same directory:

$ ls | wc -l
54411
$ find . -type d | wc -l
15
$

Yeah, ext4.

When I looked at the "X11" file selector with "strace", the 100% CPU was
due to back-to-back "stat(2)" and "gettimeofday(2)" calls for every file
in the filesystem. The GTK file selector (and the KDE selector when it
worked, which it did 'till about August, then couldn't be selected any
longer) brings up the dialog box right away, even on that directory.

I thought about that, but how does it handle duplicates? Part of the
reason I don't just move files away from the download folder into another
holding area once they've completed (to keep the number of directory
entries down) is so I can detect if I've downloaded the file already.
