I have problems with the plugin and I have a great connection to the server,
and no performance problems.  With a recent release (2005.1?), you could
restrict the plugin to certain folders on your hard drives, and that made
the situation better.  Then it got worse again for seemingly no reason, even
though I had restricted the plugin to one specific folder on one specific
hard drive.  I gave up and turned it off.

There are things about the plugin that I like, but I have stopped using it
and I don't install it with our scripted installs here at Volition because I
don't want the heacaches that come with trying to diagnose slow Explorer
response times.
