After reading that thread, the blog post, and Joels blog post, there are only three possible scenarios.
1. It's a bug but nobody knows how to fix it.
2. It's a bug and everybody is stalling while trying to get it fixed (going on eight months now).
3. It's not a bug at all but a limitation of how the new sync engine works.
All three scenarios have the same outcome: leaving Dropbox for a competitor that doesn't have this problem. Reliability was the only thing keeping me on a paid plan. Now that it's gone, I have no reason to stay. Maybe one day it will be fixed but that's clearly not today.
Eventually you will take this more seriously. I have now left you, after being a paying customer for many years, due to this issue alone. It was a show stopper for me. (This is not only an issue with large files, but also if temporary files are used with fast changes). Dropbox is intruding in local activity on the hard drive.
