slow java

Hi,

I have a number of programs that run java which are very slow, but only when the program is listing the current directory i.e. I want to open a file, I do file open, and then the javaw.exe fully utilises the processor for a number of minutes before being able to list the directory.

Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

My computer is running xp 64 bit.

Cheers

Dave
