Really poor performance on mount. Any ideas?

what version of rclone are you using, be sure to update to v1.51.0.
what version of winfsp are you using, be sure to update to 1.6.
then test again.

i would suggest that you simplify the mount command as much as possible, then add flags one by one, if needed.

when i use mount, my command is very simple.
rclone mount remote x: --vfs-cache-mode=minimal

with that simple command, i can copy files using windows explorer, fastcopy, secondcopy, double commander and use programs like wiztree.

in addition, see this post, where i copy the handbrake program to the x: and RUN handbrake.exe on x:, not c:
the point is that the mount command can be very simple, few flags, yet very powerfull.
