--- Comment #2 from Méven Car <meven29 at gmail.com> ---
Currently we don't do this on purpose, network shares are much slower devices
and listing file directory size would impact a lot dolphin reactivity while.

It could be better engineered to give priority to IO originating from the user
for instance, but the total size would still appear with a noticeable delay.

And this would make dolphin freezes when the network connection is lost or
similar issues (we don't have a proper way to detect unresponsive network
filesystem and so to act on it).
This an issue we(devs) struggle with as we lack a good low-level API to use.
The pretty much only option would be to poll network shares every seconds to
check if they are responsive, which is far from ideal.
