Hello, I just wanted to add that I'm having this same experience. I downloaded the daily Blender build from builder.blender.org and wanted to put it in /usr/local/bin/ I downloaded it and extracted the archive, and when I tried to move the files I ran into this issue with Dolphin running extremely slowly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: * Open ~/Downloads/ in one Dolphin window * Open /usr/local/bin/ in another Dolphin window * Right click in the /usr/local/bin/ window and choose 'Open as Administrator' * Enter password * Drag the extracted Blender folder from the ~/Downloads/ window into the /usr/local/bin/ window OBSERVED RESULT: EXTREMELY SLOW and it keeps prompting for the password over and over again This transfer was for 5625 files, 950.1 MiB, Started at 9:42 AM ended at 10:12 AM There was a little gap in there somewhere since it paused to wait for the password half a dozen times and I missed one of them for a minute or two. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS: OS: Fedora Linux 41 (KDE Plasma) x86_64 Kernel: Linux 6.12.15-200.fc41.x86_64 DE: KDE Plasma 6.3.1 WM: KWin (Wayland) Terminal: konsole 24.12.2 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K (12) @ 4.70 GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Lite Hash Rate [Discrete] Memory: 9.97 GiB / 62.74 GiB (16%) Swap: 0 B / 8.00 GiB (0%) Disk (/): 30.59 GiB / 1.82 TiB (2%) - btrfs Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB This bug continues to be an issue, using admin://path or escellating through the varied methods in Dolphin to do so, only to get about ~3 MiB/s transfer speeds from NVMe SSD to another SSD, when terminal `cp` is practically instant.

In Thunar the same file transfer fully reaches the max speed that the hardware allows, for example 500 MB/s or more when dealing with NVMe SSDs , while the same exact transfer between the same exact devices in Dolphin drops to 1 or 2 MB/s which is just absolutely insane and unusable. This use case reported here is more common than people probably think. In the retro emulation devices world, we usually have to deal with root only partitions on these external devices/sd cards, and it's very stressful to see GNOME and other DEs just deal with it no problem and KDE having a lot of difficulties with it and casual users don't really know or understand why. Finally, I should mention that this only happens when WRITING TO a root only partition (maybe root folders too? didn't test). When using dolphin to copy (read) FROM that root partition/folder to a user partition, the copy is extremely fast as it should - and this happens because when reading only, we don't need to open dolphin in admin mode, so this bug doesn't happen. Yeah wow. Just ran into this, how annoying. Feels like I'm running a pentium 1 era device. File transfer reaching 1.9 MiB/s. Operating System: Bazzite 42 Kernel: 6.15.9-bazzite...
