Dave,
They are mostly zip and rar archives (though there might be a few stray graphics files in the mix, it happens to be my DOWNLOAD directory). I also had the problem when I copied several of the big files to another previously empty directory. Clicking on this new directory containing just 3 large zip files gave the same slowdown and high CPU usage.

Edit:
New information, I just clicked on a freshly burned CD containing the same 3 large files above and experienced the same slowdown and high CPU usage. Again, keying down from the previous drive using the down arrow gave an instantaneous display of the directory. Also, I deleted all of the files from the download directory and clicking the now empty directory gave an instantaneous response. At this point nothing else seems affected.
