The performance improvement in the #GNOME Files app is fantastic (particularly, opening a directory with many entries is almost instant now). Thanks to whoever fixed that 🙏
@sonny@tamas It's the sum of multiple performance optimizations from various team members during the last couple of development cycles.
I'm not the major player there. Jeff has been the performance initiative driver and stress tester, while Khalid, Corey and Peter have each created and reviewed at least as much as I did.
My direct performance contributions have been smooth search performance in version 45 and no-reload list/grid switch in 46.

And yet, there's still a lot of room for potential performance improvements in future Nautilus versions. For large directories, these come to my mind:
Shout out to @antoniof for maintaining and simplifying Files, and @nekohayo for doing a lot of glue work across projects. That’s A LOT of seemingly invisible work from you two that has a huge impact on GNOME.
