I think you've misunderstand what the Templates folder is for. It's for nautilus's, or possibly another file manager's, "New Documents" menu. Right-click in a nautilus window and it will show options to create documents based on what is in the Templates folder. For example, you could have a file in there named "Text Document.txt" and nautilus will see this and offer you the option to create a new text document in its right-click menu. Instead, you've placed a git repository of LibreOffice Impress templates in that folder. These are not the kind of template files that nautilus is expecting, they are themes for creating slideshow presentations in the Impress application. They contain a lot of images and xml, so nautilus spends a lot of time scanning the 2678 files in that directory to build its New Documents menu. Even if nautilus were faster or more efficient, you would be left with a very confusing New Document menu in nautilus. It's not clear to me what should be done to address this. Possibly the Templates folder is confusing and the concept should be redesigned. Possibly nautilus should be made more efficient, since based on my limited testing, it appears to rebuild the New Documents menu more often than it should. Possibly nautilus should have a safeguard or limit on the number of entries that it is willing to add to the New Documents menu.
