The XSI browser uses exactly the same API as the windows browser (we've checked!) to access network files. Maybe they're using undocumented flags (nothing unusual there) to enumerate the files that might speed things up over the network, although I highly doubt it.
We do read additional bits in (for thumbnails for example) and some file info data but nothing that would cause a huge hit.
