First, VLC needs to scan the directory for potential subtitles (there is
an option to disable it).
Then in the case of MKV, VLC needs to probe all other MKV/MKA files in
the directory to reconsitute the whole "family". That is a feature of
MKV... It might be possible to optimize the code a bit, but it will
always be slow. But the bottom line is that you should not put many MKV
files in the same directory. Especially on a networked file system.
