This is an very common thing IMO. When browsing a folder with 21,000 files, I have to wait forever until Windows has updated the list over the network. This is considered to be "normal" I fear - most common users never have that many files in a directory.
And I also see different times with different applications, After Effects being one of the slow candidates.
The only thing that helped me was using a Windows Server installation instead of a plain Windows machine acting as a server - I assume that the server version has better caching for huge file lists?
Caching may also explain why re-accessing is faster than browsing a folder for the first time...
I don't know about Linux though, but it may be the same issue.
If anyone knows about some tools or settings to improve that behaviour, I'm also all ears! :-)
Cheers,

I have similar experiences.
It is not only the first time it is slow, but it depends on how long I
didn't open the browser.

Subject: Eternal flipbook
Hello,
When using the flipbook, for me and most of the folks here,
when we click on the (...) button to browse on disk, it can
take from 30 seconds to several minutes (some reported 10)
before we actually get the file browser. As I write this, I
have been waiting for over 3 minutes now.
Some may point at the number of projects, but I only keep the
XSI_SAMPLE project in my list of project.
On some other times, the file browser loads right away.
Any idea?
Cheers
Bernard
