People simply do NOT want to wait any time a t all for their File Manager to run. Quite simply it should be the fastest module of any Desktop. Nautulis is simply too slow to be attractive to users. Especially users of older machines that can run linux and X just fine but choke on things like Nautulis. Backwards compatibility with older slower machines was always the most impressive feature of Linux and projects like the current Mozilla and Nautulis defeat the purpose completely.
Notably, Nautulis is based on Mozilla and is clearly dependant on it for some inner workings, although I am not sure what. This seems to have caused Nautulis to inherit the same preformance problems.
In the end I use GMC still and it does fine too bad no one is trying to improve to compete with Nautulis.

I agree with the previous post completely.
