hi, so, I'd like to report this, a problem that's been happening to me for a while now
is that it takes a while to open the tages folders, which are on the right-hand side, and sometimes, it takes so long that Files almost crashes
### Steps To Reproduce
Just open the Tags folders; it will take a while to open them
### Files Version
4.0.11.0
### Windows Version
10.0.26200.6899
### User ID
_No response_
### Log File

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the freeze by opening the Tags folders from the sidebar in Files 4.0.11.0 on Windows 10, then inspect the linked debug.log for the stall. Trace the tagged-folder opening path identified by the log and verify that the folders open without a prolonged delay or app freeze.
