Well, the best thing to do is probably to profile the operation of visiting a folder, allowing us to see exactly where time is spent. Under XEmacs the function `profile-key-sequence' is very useful for this, but I don't know if that is supported by GNU Emacs. Searching for `profile' related functions, and reading about profiling ELisp in the Emacs manual, should point you in the right direction, though. The results of that will show where time is being spent, and so allow us (or you) to know why it is slow and, hopefully, fix it.
