Displaying server volumes at startup takes a long time

Hi community,

I have added a server volume to my Favorites. This server volume contains 11 shared volumes.
(ok, they are large—several TBs each.)

When I launch Bridge in the morning, the spinning cursor appears for a very long time before the shared folders finally display(4-6min.). On occasion, I have even quit and restarted Bridge in the interim. Is there a way to speed up the reading/displaying of this volume?

Sure, Bridge naturally has to "check" what's there first, but it simply takes too long.
My system specs are: Bridge v16.02, macOS v15.7.1, accessing a server via the Samba protocol (version? — would that be relevant?).

I would be grateful for any tips.
