I had this problem til I stopped using xiterm and went back to using
nxterm - I noticed a performance increase in all areas of AS. I don't know
why this should be the case(I've asked around, and no-one else seemed to
know of a problem with xiterm), it wasn't even as if I had a pixmap in the
xiterms. 

Try running nxterm as your terminal and see if the folders speed up.

In my AS they go to the bottom left, but not quite lined up against the
left edge.
