I am experiencing two problems when attaching very large files to a node with WebFM.
I have a node with 9 files attached, half of which are over 150Mb, the rest 30-60Mb. Once the files are attached, the page load time viewing the node leaps from half a second or so to 16 seconds. Using devel module, there is no sign of any database query taking a particularly long time, with the total for all db queries under 100ms. But the total page generation time is reported as > 16000ms. Memory usage seems to be about normal.
The second problem is that if I unpublish the node, all the attached files are detached from the node again.
This only happens with large files: if I attach a series of small files to the node, page loading times are normal, and the files remain attached if the node is unpublished.

OK, I've spent most of the day looking at this. I never did much testing with very large files but I can see your point now that I have. Turns out the culprit is a getimagesize($file) call at line 2033 of webfm.module. I've removed and put the icon detection solely on the js side. Much much faster directory listing now. While I was at it I decided to terf the file_move func from core file.inc since it does a copy/delete rather than a rename - very slow for large files. I haven't had time to look at the second issue yet.
Anyway, with some cleanup, etc. I will release a 2.10 very soon.

The same func call was also screwing up attachment. I've removed and I think all is well with attachment of big files.

I've modified the version to indicate where the fix applies.
