Whether it is a good to use probablySlow in okular is one question. The other one is whether cifs should be in the probablySlow category. >From my point of view, it does belong to the same group as nfs, samba and similar. So, since the method 'probablySlow' exists, ant it works the way it currently does, I'd say yes. It is called *probably*Slow exactly because we don't do any actual speed tests, but we are guessing it can be noticeably slower than a local file system. As for whether it is fitting to use it in this case, or whether the method itself could be replaced by something smarter, I have no opinion.
