Comment 16 for bug 1404588

Hi Jeremy. I almost missed your comment because LP didn't notify me by default :-) I was paying attention to the github PR location mostly and it has been almost a whole day since your post.

Anyhow, thank you for looking into my patch when you can get the opportunity.

If nothing, at least I hope it will point you or other devs into at least one partial area for improvement in Files.

OK I will update the PR with a comment about whatever "informal testing" I did, but in general, copying a large number of files was slowing Files to a crawl and making it unresponsive. With this patch the operation was happening "very quickly" - sorry I don't have performance timings.

Note that this does not address copying speed of a single large file, of course, that remains the same.

Will update the PR with a comment/notes shortly. Thanks again.
