    I have about 9 large prefabs > 200mb in a folder in unity. When I click on this folder to get to my prefabs unity just locks up for about 15 minutes. WHY? I just can't figure out what is happening in unity for it to take 15 minutes to open a folder. What is unity doing in this 15 minutes? Surely it can't take 15 minutes to open a folder. Please help me this is driving me insane.

    You can use the Profiler with the option profile editor enable to see what the editor is doing.
    Another option to see if something is going wrong in the background is to check the Editor log.

    After a few attempts I managed to capture it in the profiler. WOW 689,813ms! That's a new record for me. Here's the profiler output, you can see where the long wait times are. RAmkCZpKUX.png QT7U7HREkA.png
