Michael explained it nicely. And for the same latency reason, I'll have
to disable showing thumbnails in remote repositories. I'll need some big
icons for each type of document and for folders as placeholders when I
don't have thumbnails (we are extracting thumbnails only from ODF ATM
and some file formats don't have thumbnails)
