Ok, just checked with other file managers (Nautilus, ROX, Xffm), and 
this directory is not fun to load with any of them either. The problem 
is that the file extensions are b0rked (name.xx_) and so the MIME code 
has to open every single file, just to realize that it's only "garbage" 
(application/octect-stream).
