tar file containing 3 gifs

When list an SMB shared folder, dolphin needs a lot of time to load the content.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
 1. Dolphin information panel disabled
 2. Thumbnails disabled
 3. system settings > credentials filled with a correct SMB username/password
 4. List or refresh an SMB shared folder using Dolphin


OBSERVED RESULT
Take an unacceptable time to load the folder content.

EXPECTED RESULT
Load the folder content quickly.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: KDE Neon 5.22
KDE Plasma: 5.22.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.84.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
Kernel: 5.11
Graphical platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I attach three gif files (in a tar.gz file):
 1. dolphin_43_folders.gif: you can see loading 43 folders, takes 3 segons
 2. dolphin_3000_folders.gif you can see loaging 3000 xml (between 3 and 10KB) takes a long time (I cut the gif after a few seconds)
 3. konsole.gif: listing a folder using smbclient, lists the content instantly

I Can reproduce under a new user too.

This issue exists on my system for a long time, not only for the specified versions.

I became also curious how such an issue will be clarified further.

Hi Markus,

Are you a developer and do you need me to do some testing?

Or  you experimented the same issue and only want to stay up to date for this bug discussion?

Yes, too.

It depends on involved goals.

Do you notice any improvements together with more recent software components?


> Or you experimented the same issue

Not directly.

I can become affected also by undesirable side-effects of some (software) evolution.


> and only want to stay up to date for this bug discussion?

Mainly, yes.

Oh yes! See attached gif. Now loads more than 1800 files really quick.

Sorry for not writing earlier but (luckily) I really rarely use SMB protocol.

For my part, resolved! 

Anything we should know where the problem was?
