Adding large quantity of files takes very long

C::B 1.0rc2

I'm converting from another IDE, and attempting to import projects wholescale. I've found that if I work a directory at a time, everything is ok. However, if I tell Code::Blocks to recursively add over a whole directory tree, it takes many hours to add the files. During this time, processor usage is at 99% and memory usage jumps to 100MB and more.

It's admittedly a huge number of files, but it seems that adding them all at once shouldn't take any longer than adding each one individually, or in smaller groups.

Project loading was optimised many months ago (October or November 2005?) and takes only about 10% of the time it took previously.

If you insist on using RC2 rather than a more recent build, you should turn off code completion before doing things like recursively adding thousands of files, as this is a *massive* CPU hog.
