Speeding up the FileSystemDataSource in EPiServer

For those of you that use my custom property called Folder browser, I have a small performance tips for you.

I created a small plug in for EPiServer quite a while ago that adds functionality for selecting a folder in EPiServers file system. The plugin utilises the built in FileSystemDataSource for fetching folders and files. In my case I just want to fetch the folders and not the files, this can easily be done by adding the HideFilesFromList attribute to the FileSystemDataSource control in the FolderBrowserDialog.aspx.

This may not be an issue for you but I have a client that loooves page folders and this small improvement made the tree load alot faster.
