Dolphin and FUSE file system is slow

Hi,

I'm using Wuala [1] secure online storage. One of its options is filesystem 
integration. "With filesystem integration enabled, Wuala creates a virtual 
harddisk drive to which your operating system can connect."

On Linux FUSE is used. The output of df -h gives:
javafs                1.0G   50M  975M   5% /home/martin/WualaDrive

What I experience is that scrolling and opening/entering directories in 
Dolphin and Konqueror is rather slow.

I saw that there is a report in bugs.kde.org [2] where Dolphin gets slow when 
using sshfs (FUSE).

I've issued "ls -al WualaDrive" on the command line (Konsole) which is fast. 
The same for Nautilus in Gnome.

Did anyone else have seen this? Do I miss something?

Thanks,

Martin Kho

I'm running a full updated Fedora 15. Dolphin Version 1.6.1, Using KDE 
Development Platform 4.6.3
