    The problem is with the Finder.  Instead of simply redrawing what is
visible in the window, the Finder redraws the ENTIRE list of files.  That's
why big folders take so long to redraw.  I don't know how this bug got by
Apple's programmers.  Try scrolling around a WP document in AppleWorks GS.  It
only redraws what needs to be updated, not the whole page!  It should be a
relatively easy fix.  I don't know why they didn't upgrade the Finder for
System 5.0.3 (it's still Finder 1.3!)
