Windows caching is very slow for large files.

This isn't really a sshfs-win issue.

It happens when using SSHFS-Win-Manager, doesn't happen when using net use to mount sshfs.

Server is Ubuntu, local computer is Windows 11, latest version of sshfs.

Everything works fine when there are many small files in a folder.

When opening a folder with 6 video files, size 700MB each, it takes two minutes for Windows to cache the files, the green progress bar goes very slow.

Trying to rename a large video file freezes the windows explorer and it does not respond anymore, killing the explorer is necessary and a reboot is needed after.

Each time I open the folder with movie files Windows downloads something for about two minutes at the speed of 3.5 mbps. I exit the directory and come back to it and windows caches stuff for another two minutes again.

When looking at the properties of mounted drives it says:

Win-manager mounts the drive via fuse as a local disk. net use mounts it via fuse-sshfs as network disk.
