Hi,

We have an big issue when viewing eps files.
When I open a folder using Explorer with eps files in it, it takes a very
long time before the "eps-icons" updates in explorer (the little filetype
icon's) when using detailed view.

The update times depends on, how big the files are. (our eps files are
between 200 k and 400 mb) So it looks like it's "reading" each file somehow?
We have done some sniffing and it seems like the server sends around 35
megs. back to the client.
The server is being used by around 2000 users and there are no problems with
other file types.

Thanks for you help.

/Rico
