NFS 4 Client With Leap 15.6 with Gnome GUI Slow For Directory Listings

I have noticed my NFS 4 client that is using the internet is very slow to display a directory listing when using gnome apps. For example nautilus(or Open Office, etc…) and other apps take about 50 seconds to show a list of about 500 files. If I use the console and type the “ls -l” command the time is about 4 seconds.

Anybody have a similar issue when using a remote drive via the internet (about 800 miles between the client and the server). Or have any ideas why the GUI apps has this excessive time to show directory listing behavior.

Thanks.
