In the April issue of MACworld, the macbulliten describes a method of using
the desktop manager from appleshare to replace the finders internal mechanism
for building the desktop.  It is claimed to be MUCH faster ( using B-trees )

Will this be available in the next release of the system software?

I am tired of my 40mg. disk taking so long to rebuild the desktop.
