Sources in IFS - Retrieving directory list is extremely slow

Hello all,

Lately I've started experimenting with storing sources in the IFS.

The first thing I noticed was that retrieving a list of directory entries is extremely slow.

I converted a source file, containing almost 700 RPGLE (and SQLRPGLE) members to streamfiles in a directory. Some numbers:

- Opening the source file in PDM is instantaneous;
- Opening the source file in RSE takes about 4 seconds;
- Opening the directory in WRKLNK (unsorted) is almost instantaneous;
- Opening the directory in our own version of WRKLNK (that sorts by name) takes about 5 seconds;
- Opening the directory in RSE takes 45 seconds.

Anybody any idea why RSE takes so long?
