Research direction

Start by reproducing the listdir call against a directory containing roughly 154,000 images and record the time and platform details. Inspect the plugin's listdir entry point and determine whether the reported delay can be reduced; done means the behavior is measured with a clear reproduction and the issue's expected performance is addressed.
