thom,
sorry i didnt get back to you, yes 1090 files in a single directory, pagination on or off made no difference, however i found if i reduced the file count it loadaed faster so seems to be directly related to the number of files. im assuming it reads all the files to enable it to sort by name / date etc
files are word .doc files, currently 1090 of them, all around 160kb each in size..
fileaway code is the sub folder, directories on, manager on and paginate true
server is dedicated, and i dont see the cpu or hard drive resources maxed out when accessing the wordpress page.
