Kurt-

In response to your point about sharing large numbers of files, we will be making some slight tweaks to this code for the next version of LimeWire.

The code for searching through your files is quite optimized. Do you know if you only experience a slowdown at startup when sharing large number of files, or do you experience sluggishness even after running LimeWire for, say 20 minutes? It hopefully should only be slow at the very beginning, and we are having another look at this section of the code.

There may be a slight delay in the next release, but we will be coming out with a new version quite soon.
