Description
### Description
Just like the title says. In addition, I have a folder on my local HD that just has shortcuts to about a dozen SMB servers (standard shortcuts to locations like \\ServerName), and it takes 30-40 seconds for that folder to load, vs instantly in Windows' File Explorer.
Something strange is going on with the way Files interacts with SMB servers.
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Connect to any SMB server on your LAN (\\ServerName) and compare how quickly it loads to the native file explorer.
2. Create a local folder on your HD with shortcuts to a handful of SMB servers on your network, and compare how quickly it loads to the native file explorer
### Requirements
SMB locations, and folders full of shortcuts to SMB locations, should load just as fast (or nearly as fast) as the native File Explorer.
