Also have this problem - on Linux Mint 19.3, XFCE with a Samsung S7.
This worked fine under Mint 17.1 - listing 3500 jpeg files took 20
seconds; usually less.  Now when trying to read the same directory which
is now only 2500 jpeg files, both Thunar and PCMANFM take > 20 MINUTES
to generate a file listing - a slowdown by a factor of 60 for a thousand
fewer files.  But once the listing shows up, I can scroll and do file
transfers just fine.  Directories of only a few hundred jpegs on the
phone come up almost instantly.  I can't get a more recent version of
the libmtp than 1.1.13 from the repository, and I get errors that state
"Dependency is not satisfiable: libmpt9(=1.1.17-2)" when I try the other
solutions mentioned previously.

This is a deal breaker. Downloading pictures from my phone is one of the
most common operations I perform.  At this point, I may have to
reconsider going back to Windows 10, which at least gets the job done -
it takes roughly 40 seconds to do the directory on those 2500 files.
