Extremely slow loading speeds from SMB Nas

[lode]

Hi!

We are experiencing some strange issues with loading session files from our NAS.

When loading a medium complex session from our studio complexes shared NAS we are seeing obscenely long load times. However if we copy (just) the .ptx file over to the desktop the load times are quite normal. Load times are also normal when the .ptx file is on a Nexis server system (that the video edit suites use).

An informal comparison I did this morning:

Studio 1 (Catalina, PT 22.7)
From the NAS: 5.30
From the desktop: 45sek
From our shared Nexis server: 45 sek

Studio 2 (Monterey PT 22.10)
From the NAS: 6.40
From desktop: 35sek
From our shared Nexis server: 35sek

Now the Nexis servers not fast enough to serve audio and video fast enough to all our rooms at once which is why we got a nice Nas to serve the audio suites. But these load times absurd, so we need two try to figure out what is going on here. The problem crept up on us this autumn we think. No one is sure exactly when it started to be like this.

But there is obviously some way that PT is doing something different when loading from the NAS, and I´m at loss as to where the problem is.
