I've had a little play with this and found that ArcHandlerEx is considerably
slower than ArcDir at listing directories in LHA/LZX archives when there are
lots of files in them (even if they are somewhere else in the archive). I
should think a good example would be try them both with the Magnum Opus
archive. Any way to speed it up to ArcDir speeds?
