Research direction
Start by reproducing the delay and crash while opening directories in Nemo, especially on the reported NTFS partition and, for comparison, Ext4. Capture the relevant crash information beyond the single segfault line; done means directories open at a reasonable speed and Nemo no longer crashes.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Distribution
Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit
Package version
Nemo 6.6.3
Frequency
Quite often
Bug description
Nemo acts super slow. When opening a folder, it takes a long long time to load its contents. Yes I know that Linux doesn't handle NTFS quickly but this is ridiculous.
Often hanging on the "opening a directory" pop-up window for long enough to stop responding.
Sometimes this results in an outright app crash. Here is one such crash.
Jul 01 16:43:21 Glow-deck kernel: nemo-desktop[2018]: segfault at 0 ip 000058968dff8cf2 sp 00007ffd3b634630 error 4 in nemo-desktop[10bcf2,58968df1c000+10e000] likely on CPU 0 (core 0, socket 0)
Despite how it might look reading it, this is probably an issue with Nemo, not my hardware. Not much to be done about it but file a bug report.
Steps to reproduce
Open folders using Nemo and wait for them to load. Usually within my NTFS partition on my HDD. But rarely there will also be the same issues in my Ext4 SSD.
Expected behavior
Expected directories open promptly, or at least at a reasonable speed considering I'm browsing files in an NTFS partition. Also, expected Nemo to not crash, of course.
Additional information
Running nemo --quit && nemo and then using Nemo for tasks does not log any text into terminal except for this. I don't have any network share folders, so this message isn't concerning to me. But it's odd that nothing else is entering the Terminal log while I perform actions in Nemo.
afterglow@Glow-deck:~$ nemo --quit && nemo
Nemo-Share-Message: 17:09:13.231: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No such file or directory
Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

I am unable to upload .xsession files to this Github, so i cannot share that with you. Bummer. It's also much too long to copypaste here.
