May be. I have to set up a test environment as for now I splitted up the 
directory in several sub directories to be able to work with this share. 
An interesting detail may be that the traffic is constantly about 200 
KiB/s, but on each screen refresh, the traffic is lower (about 100 KiB/s 
-- this is what is visible in the tooltip information every time it 
refreshes).

This problem should be reproducable with a simple test scenario, so I 
will try when I find the time for it.

By the way, the > 1000 files are .epub files... not sure if the type of 
the files my be a reason, because I don't know which application is 
requesting the information.
