Hello Tibor

Some ideas for further testing:

If you restart evolution, is it fast again?

Is there any difference if you change to saving into an empty folder
again (eg. move the files somewhere else from the terminal) ?

Do those ~21 files fill up the window? Is a preview block being shown?

I hypothesize that the Save as dialog may be trying to show a preview of
those large images (only of the selected one? Caching all the images on
the folder?) which would then slow it down.
In that case, I would consider it a gtk+ issue.

Note however that this is just speculation, it is just the only reason I
could come up for experiencing what you reported.

Best regards
