Slow listing of remote instances

I have local and a remote installation of Incus 6.0.5. The local instance responds to incus list instantly but the remote one takes about 4s. It used to be faster when the remote was on a different weaker machine (with a different version of Incus) on the same subnet. The newer more powerful machine on the same subnet that replaced the old one is slower to respond. I’m wondering if there is some configuration parameter that I’ve messed up that is causing it to be so much slower, especially since it is a 4x more powerful machine with no interactive use.

The local installation is on my main box and has two projects: default (2 containers, 1 VM) and another (7 containers, 1 VM). The system load is 1.5 with 650 MB RAM free (both thanks to the web browser). The remote installation also has two projects: default (2 running containers, two running VMs, and two stopped VMs). The system load is 0.1 with 12 GB RAM free (not an interactive machine). It appears to me that the remote instance should be faster than the local not the other way around.

What should I be looking for?

Feel free to hijack this issue of mine with your data if you manage to pin down the issue a bit more and to reproduce minimal environments where incus list is slow :slight_smile:
