Probably

If this is the case, would it be possible to temporary disable

I don't recall if this is possible with THG 0.3, but with 0.4 you have a
global setting regarding overlay icons: Choose between TRUE (default, always
show overlays), localdisks (don't show on remote drives), and FALSE (never
show overlays).

The more you disable, the faster your explorer (and open file dialogs) runs.

Personally, I'm using "localdisks".
