Bug#523048: nautilus loads directories slowly when gnome assistive technologies enabled

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.20.0-7
Severity: important


When I have gnome assistive technologies enabled and browse directories with Nautilus, it takes longer for those 
directories to load and display their contents compared to when assistive technologies is not enabled.  As an extreme 
benchmark, if I try to open and display the contents of a directory with 3,311 items, Nautilus is still loading 
the directory after 2 minutes when assistive technologies is enabled, but takes only 2 seconds when assistive 
technologies is not enabled.

I ran nautilus under gdb with nautilus debugging symbols but nothing came up.  If you know "where to look" for 
information that might help diagnose the problem, I can look if you can tell me.
