Passwords take kind of long to show

Hi,

I have recently switched from a git workflow for pass to using Syncthing for syncing the passwords, thus I had to change to "External repository" in the app.

What I have observed was a major slow down in showing of the passwords available to be searched after opening the app (around 1sec, when before it was basically instantenous)

Is this somewhat a known thing? I don't have that many passwords saved (around 320), and this is slowing my workflow (not badly, but still)

I didn't wanna open an issue for this because I am not sure if this is expected behaviour (perhaps operations above the userspace filesystem take longer?.. I don't really know that much about how android works to be honest)

We're currently using the same APIs to access files regardless of where they are stored so that should typically not be a problem, but newer Android versions include extra security checks for files in public storage which can contribute to this slowness when traversing directories with a relatively large number of files.

I see. Thanks for the reply - that might be it and I am fine with that. In the end, it's still fast enough :) Thank you for your time and answer
