Sorry for the delay. The only internal process that we know would take more
time is self-heal and we implemented a feature called granular entry
self-heal which should be enabled with sharded volumes to get the benefits.
So when a brick goes down and say only 1 in those million entries is
created/deleted. Self-heal would be done for only that file it won't crawl
the entire directory.
