The Captains of Nautilus

GonzoJohn writes "The official GNOME filemanager Nautilus was originally developed by Eazel as part of their plan to bring usability and beauty to the Unix desktop. Today Nautilus is maintained by veteran GNOME hackers Alexander Larsson and Dave Camp. Being such a core application in the GNOME desktop it is the topic of many discussions in and around GNOME. In a recent survey on gnomedesktop.org an interview about Nautilus was at the top of the wishlist. So to let everyone get the inside scope on what is happening with Nautilus currently I got hold of Alexander and Dave for a small interview.""

Yeah, as in, "I wish it was usable."

(Relax, kidding... kind of)

Thank you, Captain Nemo

Captain Nemo, I've always respected what you've done under the sea. You've made it safe from Nazis and Mermen alike!

All hail Nemo, Captain of Nautilus!

...but nautilus is WAY too slow for serious use. It uses tons of memory, CPU and is just beyond comprehension as to why it's so slow.

For as long as I can remember, I've tried it off and on hoping that it's gotten better.

For as long as you can remember? I've heard of people having short memories, but that's pushing it.
Now where did I set down my coffee mug...
