addnet for adding and deleting test networks

I have over 2,000 Wi-Fi networks saved on my company laptop and with this number the network applet starts very slowly.
Switching from one network to another is slower. (Like a virus infected windows)
If I connect to the WiFi and VPN network, the connection is there and works, but the circle keeps spinning, as if he was constantly thinking about something.
The problem occurs on every version of KDE Plasma and on every system I have tested. It has been like this for many years, although it is slightly better than in the versions from 2-3 years ago.


I made a script (attached) that adds and deletes networks for testing.
addnet 1000 , will add 1000 networks
addnet --del , will delete added networks

Not saying there's nothing we can improve here, but is there a particular reason why you need to save 2000 wifi networks?

I use a company laptop, I don't want to constantly delete the networks that are slowly increasing because sometimes I have to use the saved networks. It would be very nice if it could improve operation with a large number of saved networks.

Hello

Has anything been done about this issue?
I still really hope that the network applet will improve.
