Files: A Modern File Explorer

Tried it out this morning, and while the UI is nice, the whole thing feels sluggish and unresponsive compared to the native file explorer. I thought it might have to do with indexing so I let it run for a while but it never seemed to get any faster unfortunately.

I imagine it might be related to how they are handling the UWP/WinUI asynchronous file access, which if not done properly is indeed slower than bare bones classical Win32.
