Public bug reported:
MC is very slow to start (several seconds) when current directory is on
a CIFS/SMB share. Also the subshell / menu switch (with C-o) is very
slow when switching back to the menu, which is annoying.
Using ''strace'' I could narrow down the problem to a call to stat(2):
$ cd /smb/lacie-cloudbox/myshare
$ mount|grep lacie-cloudbox
//lacie-cloudbox/myshare on /smb/lacie-cloudbox/myshare type cifs (rw)
$ strace -r -tt -o /tmp/mc.strace mc
$ grep -v 0.0 /tmp/mc.strace
3.310479 stat("/smb/lacie-cloudbox/myshare", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755,
st_size=0, ...}) = 0
Note that this is a long due issue (was already in 12.04 and probably before),
but it is only lately that I could narrow down the problem as highlighted above.
