I suspect this is the problem but I might be reaching out on a limb.

I'm not entirely sure why this happens but when using Windows XP, The internal zip folder support seems to cause major slow downs, when accessing a folder with zips for whatever reason each one is explored. If you have a huge zip (100mb) or many little zips this can take alot of time.

FlashFXP emulates windows explorer, I suspect we do something that the normal windows explorer doesn't do, but I don't know what that is.

My development machine is Windows 2000. So I'm not actually able to locally debug the problem.
