Today I invoked the excellent BetterZip Quick Look Generator on a 125 MB zip file which contains 40368 items. BQLG took about 15 minutes (I did not actually measure this) before it displayed the contents, blocking access to the finder the whole time. BetterZip handles this zip file fine.
Since the quick look generator is for quickly checking the contents of a file, could this be handled better? BQLG should be able to open such zip files much faster and a way to cancel a lengthy operation would be good too.

There was a bug in the BetterZip engine that could lead to that problem. I have fixed this bug in BetterZip, but haven't got to fixing it in the QL generator. I'll do this soon.
