<p class="MsoNormal">I recently moved some layers to a local network drive that is very fast otherwise and the file has become unusable. I get "(Not Responding)", Windows circle of death and the back and forth status indicator on the QGIS Status Bar for a
very long time.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This project had many other layers that were on this same drive before the issue started. So I am fairly confident it is not the drive. <o:p></o:p></p>
