More information!
As soon as I unmount both shares (with 'umount /run/media/username/DataHere'
for example), the file selection dialog is fast again!
The problem appears even when I cold boot the computer somewhere where I don't
have the connection to the servers.

I think this could be linked to the file dialog trying to connect to the shares
to evaluate the free space available in those places.

[kfile] [Bug 363185] New: file selection dialog very slow when samba shares are not present

[Romain Bazile via KDE Bugzilla]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363185

Bug ID: 363185
   Summary: file selection dialog very slow when samba shares are
not present
   Product: kfile
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: crash
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
  Reporter: grom...@hotmail.com

I have two samba shares defined in my /etc/fstab:
//192.168.0.69/DataHere/run/media/username/DataHere cifs
credentials=/home/username/.sambacreds,x-systemd.automount,uid=username 0 0
//192.168.0.70/DataThere  /run/media/username/DataThere cifs
credentials=/home/username/.sambacreds,x-systemd.automount,uid=username 0 0

Whenever I start my computer and those two shares are not on my network (for
example at work vs at home), the file dialog selection becomes very slow and
almost unusable.
This means when I want to do "save as" from Firefox or Thunderbird, or any
other program (LibreOffice or Kate also), the dialog is very slow, either when
I want to navigate through the folders, select a file, or change the name.

When I'm connected to those samba shares, the dialog works flawlessly and is
fast.

I will do more tests to see if suspend/waking the computer helps with the issue
or worsen it, or with moving the computer back and forth between the two
places.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define samba shares in /etc/fstab
2. Make sure they are not present on the network
3. Open a save file or open file dialog (from Firefox or Kate)

Actual Results:  
File selection dialog is very slow, and unresponsive for several dozens of
seconds

Expected Results:  
File selection dialog should be fast

I'm using an Arch Linux Derivative, Manjaro, up to date as of today (2016 May
17).
