F17: samba + nautilus - can't do two things simultaneously

I've just encountered some inconvenience when accessing samba share from
nautilus.

I have directories exported on my F17 box. From the same computer I
tried to do two "actions" simultaneously in nautilus: display number of
files and total size of one folder (with about 300GB and 400,000 files)
and access/enter second folder to do some other thing. But I was unable
do do second action before first one has finished. Nautilus just
displayed busy cursor and I had to wait till it counted all files in
first folder. Why there is no concurrency there and is it nautilus,
samba or gfvs prohibiting me to enter/display content of one folder when
another is proceeded?
