I believe that's one of those great "features" of OS X, made by
many programmers that don't have a clue (who came apparently
from NeXT, not Apple). At least that's the effect that you get
from the new Finder. I thought (hoped) it would only happen in the
Finder but your finding suggest that it's even worse, unless RS
has implemented a new (not properly working) caching to speed up
FolderItem (which, as I've pointed out before, is awfully wasteful
timewise when you make repeated inquiries to the same FolderItem
object)
