Strange Performance Problem Opening ECB Windows

Hello All

I'm having a performance problem with ECB since I upgraded to Debian 7 
(Wheezy). First I navigate to a file in the directories buffer - no 
problem. If I then close the ECB windows and then try to re-open them, 
it takes ages for the re-open (sometimes up to 15 seconds). Closing the 
ECB windows and re-opening them again is fine.

In short, opening the ECB windows after I have already navigated to a 
file in a directory is very slow, but re-opening again after that is 
fine. If I navigate to a file in another directory I get the same 
problem. If I get impatient waiting for the ECB windows to open, I can 
hit any key (eg space) and they open quickly. However, I then get the 
same slow response next time I open the ECB windows.

CPU load is high during the period of slow response.

Its really weird, and very annoying. Does anyone have any ideas. Any 
help would be much appreciated.
