Got it.

Then it's the caching process that takes long on PS2,
and I see now that it's independent from the themes ;-)

I had a report on forum it might be crashing the PS2 port
for people that have big HD and gazillions of folders in
(I guess) the current folder. Do we cache up to a certain
amount of files (I've got the 1 level recursion part), or
is there a possibility to trigger a OOM on small devices?

Or maybe it's just a red herring.

Forgive me if it's a dumb question: from this scenario it
would seem only two places should be searched for themes:

- default (i.e. /usr/share/scummvm in Linux)
          (or the "bundle" for MacOSX / Android)

- 3d party themes (i.e. themepath)

But I'm sure we have good reasons if it's implemented in
a different way (e.g. caching a preset of folders and then
looking for the themes in the cached list -> so I've got my
answer ;-)

Thanks,
