As you are probably aware, Geany does not open remote files, it opens a local mount of the file, so the problem is in the filesystem that provides that mount, probably a FUSE system, not in Geany.
Gedit does not use a local mount IIUC, it accesses remote files directly via GVFS. Try comparing the speed of `cat` on the mount point Geany reads with `gvfs-cat` accessing the server directly. There have been thoughts about having Geany use GVFS as well, but nobody has had sufficient effort available to do and test this. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
