It depends, I think. Sometimes, depending on the computer, larger folders take a longer time to open. Larger can mean either many files or bigger files. I know my webgifs is 11.8mb and 2,800 files, which is a fair amount considering I rarely play Graal. In these cases, and pretty much any case, RAM helps. Even if it doesn't bottleneck, each indice must be examined. Does Graal look at filesize, modified dates, and such, or just names? Or must it scan the raw data? If it scans raw data, larger files could take a far longer time to completely scan.
