If you want to close a file browser with files marked for deletion and you choose the "expunge before closeing" option, FB will go off and expunge the files, then resort the list of files and redisplay them.  Considering how slow this opertation is, it should be avoided.  When you close the FB you don''t want to see it redisplayed.'
