Thunar slow when accessing NFS

Arch Linux: 6.1.3-arch1-1
GTK Ver: 3.24.34
XFCE Version: 4.18

I have an NFS drive that auto mounts when starting. Sometimes it works perfectly and is as quick as any other drive I have attached, and other times it has a terrible lag. When it's really bad, it can take a few seconds or more just to highlight a file. A reboot can sometimes fix it, but I've also has it start slow before as well.

I'm just not certain where to start troubleshooting and hope to find where to start.

Thanks!

Re: Thunar slow when accessing NFS

Has no one else experienced this?

I installed Dolphin just to have something to compare against, and it's worlds faster. Loading folder contents can take 5+ seconds sometimes in Thunar, and usually less than a second in Dolphin. I really don't want a new file manger. I have probably 40+ custom actions, and the thought of starting with a new file manager is daunting.

Re: Thunar slow when accessing NFS

Could you try with another GTK-based file manager like nautilis or nemo? If they don't also have the problem (they will use the same gvfs backend) then a bug report would be best.

Thanks for the hint.

I guess it's a gvfs issue. Slow as snail snot in Nautilus as well.
