Current Behavior

Ranger takes too long (20 minutes?) to load when opening for the first time. It seems that later it is faster.

Expected Behavior

It should open faster

Context

I have to wait 20 minutes at least to start working.

Possible Solutions

Steps to reproduce

1. Log into a computer cluster using SSH from terminator
2. type ranger

How does the last twenty lines of the log file from strace --output=ranger-strace.log ranger look? Programs commonly hang on a wait4(…) call waiting for another process or I/O on f.e. network mounts..
