Description

I have a fair number of network paths in my history, and pressing Ctrl+P can take several seconds to display the dialog. Can something be done to speed that up?

Research direction

Start by tracing the Ctrl+P goto dialog and the history-loading path, then reproduce the delay with many network paths in history. Done means the dialog appears faster in that scenario without losing the relevant history entries.
