It isn't the point that the drive is fast, it is not standard to have your profile on a network drive even if it seems to work ok. I'm speaking as a user here when I say it is not a supported method of use.

Data access across a network is not the same as data access on a physical disk. Every time I hear about problems like this, it's always because someone is using it on a network share (or via Onedrive, Google Drive, etc.). it is never a good idea to go outside the defaults the program is meant to use. Are we surprised it's doing something not normal?
