There is a long term impact on system usage if you have NFS or SMB share connected when running tumbler with Thunar 1.6.3 as it was built to take advantage of Nautilus under Gnome 3. I have tested it on both arch and xubuntu. I am currently testing it on 2.2 but I believe it may cause major issues for 32 bit and systems with less than 2 gig of ram. As it builds thumb nails in the background it uses 3% of the ram available. It slows down start times of Thunar upon reboot with loss of start up by about 40%. I have tested it on acer Travelmate 4220 with 1.7 ghz 32bit core duo with 2 gig ram.
