LYNX-DEV 2-8 object size & long-list

[Philip Webb]

(1) in 2-7, without DIRED support or LONG-LIST defined in Makefile,
when i enter  g  then  . , there quickly appears a very convenient list
of the files in my current directory, giving just the file names
-- many people don't realise you can do this -- ;
in 2-8, using   --disable-dired --disable-long-list ,
the same command calls up the full `ls -l' list after  c 12 seconds ;
i've left the corresponding lines in  lynx.cfg  commented out.
is this a new feature, a bug or something i haven't quite got right?

(2) the 2-7 image =  1.13 M , 2-8 =  2.3 M : both without DIRED.
this is an increase of  > 2 times ! -- have i done anything wrong?
