It takes around 60 seconds to move 16 files to a subdirectory of their current location (within the same filesystem). The delay is spread across the files so each rename appears to take the same (c 5 seconds) time. I've not yet managed to construct a minimal test case for this - if I start -Q or with my .emacs - without loading desktop the same rename runs virtually instantaneously. I am seeing a similar slowness in VM (the mail reader) which I suspect is related - here the problem gets worse the longer the emacs session is left running - so if it is the same problem as above maybe that's why a simple with -Q doesn't show the problem? I'm not placing it is a bug report yet as this is rather vague but in case anyone has any helpful thoughts or is also seeing this issue?
