Bug description
In comparison to dolphin (KDE), pcmanfm-qt (LXQt) and thunar (Xfce), nemo takes much more time to navigate local folders, reaching 500ms in a live system where the filesystem is 100% in RAM.
Steps to reproduce
- Open folder A
- Double click on subfolder B
Expected behavior
The subfolder content should be rendered in such a way that we shouldn't notice any delay.
Additional information
This is not distro related (also tested on Mint 21.3).
This is not hardware related (tested in a physical machine Ryzen 7 7840HS + 32 GB + nvme).

Research direction
Start by reproducing navigation from folder A into subfolder B with Nemo 6.0.2, measuring the reported delay and comparing it with the listed file browsers. Trace the local-folder navigation path to identify the source of the delay; done means the observed rendering delay is reduced to an imperceptible level and the result is verified on a comparable system.
