If you have a large number of documents in a container, the admin protocol
will get the list then do one request per item to get infos on it, it will
take some time :) Not that there was some bug fixes in the connection
management (client side) and that may address your problem (see
http://jigsaw.w3.org/Devel/classes/ ).
If the hanging can be reproduce, can you mail us a stack trace?
