--- Comment #2 from Deepankar Sharma <deepankar.sha...@gmail.com> ---
I have a few questions about this -
1. What information is the launcher reading for disk on mouse click?
2. What directories does it hit?
3. Is the launcher also doing some writes?
4. Would it be possible to move the read into an async read with a timeout? Ie
launcher gets shown regardless with some information missing, and then when the
async read callback happens the information from that callback is used to
update the launcher if its still open.
5. A more meta question is whether it is a good idea to read from disk in the
hot path of a UI event handler in the first place? Should the information from
disk be maintained using a different mechanism ? Ie maybe a separate thread
that either polls for this information, or even better something based on
inotify / notifications that maintains this information in an event driven way.
