browse.py doesn't do any stat()'ing of the files in the directory, which 
might account for the speed difference. Urwid does let you do that 
lazily (as files appear on screen instead of all at once), so it will 
seem faster with lots of files.

Post any Urwid-specific issues you have to the list and I'll try to help.
