450+ is quite a lot, I think. I don't have more than around 10-15 text files at anytime on my Kindle to keep it quick on its feet. Also, many files is confusing. I use my computer for storage. You could try and disable indexing to see if this is indeed the source of the slowdown, as seems to be. I don't see what else it might be at this moment. Also, note that I haven't tried to disable indexing myself. I don't know how indexing works on the Kindle, but I don't actually see why it should have to do the indexing more than once. If it doesn't have to do it more than once, as I believe, then I don't understand why it still takes up resources. I guess it's memory (system) related if that's the case.

One of the shortcomings of the Kindle is that it doesn't have an external card slot, imo.
