Big drive / many files optimizations #100

Hi,

It seems that WinDirStat has problems on my computer with larger drivers (3 TB) or with a lot of files (1,500,000+). WinDirStat responds very slowly and sometime does not 'respond'.

Would you investigate for me if WinDirStat could be optimized, so that it may be more stable with bigger drives?

Thanks in advance.

Best of regards Casper.

I bet this specific issue is due to a (well intentioned!) misuse of LockWindowUpdate. Raymond Chen has a series of articles on "Poor misunderstood LockWindowUpdate", ( 2 ), ( 3 ), ( 4 ).

TL, DR: use

#!c++
SetRedraw( FALSE );
SetRedraw( TRUE );

wherever you use

#!c++
LockWindowUpdate( );
UnlockWindowUpdate( );

Please read this first and give me enough information so I can even attempt to reproduce it. Thanks.
