Apache + rclone mount -- How to avoid fetching whole files to autoindex

And yet another vital optimization when serving up directory trees using mod_autoindex, Apache will default to checking for index.php, index.html, etc… before evgen attempting to list the files that are in the directory. So, it is important to specify
DirectoryIndex disabled
to avoid this behavior.

Does it make a lot of difference? If apache is fetching the directory to look for the index, then it will be cached for the directory listing I would have thought.
