They can start by making explorer startup in less than 5 seconds. Let's face it, Microsoft devs don't care about performance and probably never will.
- pjc50 2y agoExplorer is slow because it's extensible. All the thumbnails and extra stuff in the context menu is what slows it down. There's some pathological cases like "opening a folder with an MP3 file in" which puts it into scanning all the files for ID3 tags. Fpilot is a great example of how it's possible to make something MUCH faster by limiting the feature set. (also some of the NTFS APIs are horribly slow for extended information)
- sirwhinesalot 2y agoFile Pilot supports explorer extensions... There's an actual animation showing it on the website. What do you mean by "limiting the feature set"?
