Problems with Large Directory

I have a directory of 1Gb containing 4000 images.
When I try to open the directory with XnView, XnView usually just hangs. Sometimes it works after 4 or 5 attempts.
Sometimes not at all.
This afternoon it worked first time, but hung later.

Can anybody explain?

Strange, i have no problem. Could you try to disable the cache?

Thanks.
I've disabled the cache and it now works.
But I'll still have to check that it works consistently.

Um, presumably I lose something by disabling the cache? Is this issue explained anywhere in documentation?

Thanks anyway.

When disabling the cache thumbnails will be created each time, i must change the cache system soon...
