I see data being transferred on a graphic connection meter a good 5 or 10 seconds before the small download box appears showing the file being transferred.

I believe this might be caused by code that is reading the big download folder (many files) from disk before it shows the window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click on a download link to any file
2.see data downloading on connection meter (external)
3.wait for small download window to appear

Actual Results:  
Wait 5-10 seconds after clicking on link for small download window to appear

Expected Results:  
Small download window should have better response on an Athlon XP 1700+ (1.47 GHz).  Hard disk files are almost completely contiguous, hd is 7200? rpm.  Using DMA IDE interface, ATA 100.


Is there an XP hd write routine that just adds a file without looking through the whole download folder?

btw, my current e-mail is sgrog@gmail.com.
