Speeding up directory tree navigation on a mounted network drive

Just tried, it works! Thank you so much! :heart_eyes:

--network-mode made directories open faster!
--vfs-cache-mode=full made files open faster!

If you don't mind, please could you help me understand why --vfs-cache-mode=full makes opening remote files quicker? For exmaple, I tried to preview a small 50KB audio file, but with flags like --read-only or --vfs-cache-mode=writes it takes at least 5–10 seconds to play. However, with --vfs-cache-mode=full it only takes about 1 second to play.

Will --vfs-cache-mode=full wear out my local disks quickly if I am re-mounting every day?
