GeneralXP bug: Very slow for large files Pin

For an application we are developing we found that the first operation was taking an extremely long time on Windows XP. Initially we though it was a problem with our program, but later we found that even Explorer showed the same slowness.

Just reboot to XP, right clk on the large file and take Properties. The properties box won’t come for several seconds and the larger the file, the longer will the delay be. Google searches showed that there are several others who have faced similar issues. What is strange is that this is only for the first read, for further reads this problem is not there.

In our application the size of the file might go up to 1 Gb or above and might even be read on an USB device. In such a situation any extra delay is really an absolute problem for us. In fact we also tried taking the cmd prompt and renaming the file. The first rename took several seconds for a 10 Mb file, but further renames were immediately done.

We tried to open/close the file from another app, seek to end of file, read from the file, get file size etc… but all that still does not prevent the slowness when you simply try to take file properties from explorer. Is this an XP issue, if so is this a known bug? Any idea what really happens? Any fix?

Two very important points, this bug seems to be random (but only on XP, never happened on W2K). Sometimes the first and following operations work very well without delay. And secondly, this seems to concern only exe file (even if the extension is different).
