Works slow with gvfs

[yajo]

Hi there!

When I have an SFTP folder mounted, if I navigate through it with the Enki file tree, it gets very slow displaying the folder contents, especially if there are a few hundred.

I thought it could be a network problem, but then i checked and navigating those with Nautilus is very faster.

I use Fedora 20 and Gnome 3.10.2.

Thanks!

Could you please test if this light Enki version also is slow?

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication, QTreeView, QFileSystemModel

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
tree = QTreeView()
model = QFileSystemModel(tree)
model.setRootPath('/')
tree.setModel(model)

tree.show()
app.exec_()

That one seems to work fine. However I cannot test it right now in the exact same environment, let me try later.

Waiting while you tested code above and Enki on same environment

Sorry for the delay. I have tested it in the same environment, and it is as slow as Enki (~30 seconds). The target folder has 196 subfolders, and all I do is click on the [+] sign. The server has a very limited bandwidth (~3.5KiB/s).

Listing the exact same folder in Nautilus takes ~18s (40% faster). Other times it got ~1s, but maybe it was because it readed it from some sort of cache, and that tricked me. Now I see that the difference is not that much, and seems to be Qt bug in any case.

I'm closing this bug, because it doesn't worse rewriting QFileSystemModel. I can do something more useful in this time. Let's hope Qt will become quicker sometimes.
