Public bug reported: There are a few particular folders in my filesystem which don't have anything special (that I know of) and that do _not_ contain many files or subfolder (just a dozen items), which at random times take several seconds to show up when I open them in Nautilus.
Most of the times it happens when it's the first time I open that folder (since boot) or when a long time has passed since the last time I opened that folder. After that, if I exit and reenter the folder it opens fast.
