The network speed is the problem, not the processor. Accessing the server desktop lets me run intensive processes on the server. No need for terabytes shared across the network.What an awful method, screen sharing with the fileserver because you find it too slow otherwise. If you want higher speed
After the network speed, disk speed is next. My latest SSDs are about as fast as a Pi 4 can handle. A Pi 5 has speed to spare for things like copying video as MP4 for those occasions when an accessing device does not handle the original video format.
The memory usage does include more than search.
File name search for a keyword.
Open a couple of files in a browser or image viewer.
More searches.
More open in browser for comparison.
So mousepad and a jpeg viewer with a few files open.
With access to the desktop, I can run Czkawka and similar tools without a big network overhead. The most efficient client-server setup.
