We reimplemented the open tool window for 14.0.1 to improve the performance. It's way faster than 14.0. It will be available very soon. It's not quite as fast as what Chris has done but it is very polished and the speed is impressive. I did all my testing on 40,000 files with a slow machine.

I worked from home today, but I logged in remotely via VPN + Remote Desktop to try out the improved smart-open dialog.  It looks very good.  Tomorrow I'll be able in the office and able to do some tests to get a sense of the true speed without Remote Desktop slowing things.

I tested the smart-open perf improvements in the 14.0.1 RC this morning -- I'm happy to say it is very snappy now.  I've updated the original post to cross that off as solved. 

Thanks, Clark!

Awesome! Glad to hear the Open tool window is fast enough for even your needs. There's still a lot more performance work to be done and we will continue to chop away at it.
