SDL Trados Studio 2021 opening multiple network files much slower than Studio 2019

Hello,

When we have to open all sdlxliff files in a project containing a lot of files stored on a network share (Windows Server), SDL Trados Studio 2021 (SR2 16.2.12.9338) is much slower than SDL Trados Studio 2019 (SR2 15.2.0.1041). We have both on our Windows 11 virtual machines. For example, I have a project containing 543 files. On Studio 2021, it takes 10 minutes to open all the files. On Studio 2019, it takes only 1 minute 52 seconds to open the same project. If I copy that project on local drive, it takes only 1 minute 40 seconds on Studio 2021 to open the files.

Once all network sdlxliff files are opened, moving from one segment to another is also very slow on Studio 2021 (10 seconds on Studio 2021 against 3 seconds on Studio 2019 with the same files). 

I removed all apps, reinstalled Studio 2021. The problem remains.

Is there any problem with Studio 2021 related to network performance?
