Hi Marko,

I noticed this exact same behaviour last night, when I set up autofs(5) for
the first time.

If I navigated autofs(5) nfs shares in /net/ via the console, they were
quickly automounted and listing the contents was very fast. However when I
navigated them with thunar there was a 5 second delay for each folder
change.

Olivier: My understanding was that the autofs(5) behaviour should be
transparent to thunar, and therefore it should not be related to gvfs at
all?

Regards,
Ben
