Does not happen to me on Fedora 12 with

$ rpm -qf $(which konqueror)
kdebase-4.4.5-1.fc12.x86_64
$ rpm -qf $(which firefox)
firefox-3.5.15-1.fc12.x86_64

- fast response, no problems I can see.

On a more general note, internally at work I have rather large data sets
(some contain ~25K files per directory) that are accessed via browsers
(http, not ftp - I use Konqueror or Firefox myself, others use IE). It takes
a few seconds to get the file list of such a large directory, but nothing is
frozen during that time, menus work, other tabs are fine, etc. No surprises.


FWIW,
