I've seen MUCH better performance with RDi 9.  Expanding IFS directories takes a fraction of the time it used to take.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDP "expanding filter" takes forever..

I'm consistently having problem with rdp "expanding" my folder list 
under "remote systems". It spends a HUGE amount of time in this 
"expanding folder" mode and its in a "not responding" state till it's 
done. Then I may click on an open file and off it goes again. I'm being 
driven demented! I've closed down views I don't need open but it just 
opens them up again. Any suggestions welcome....please!
