Caching over SMB to a NAS is extremely slow. March 20, 2025, 5:08 p.m.
It depends on the workflow but another approach could be to save it locally and have some background tool push it to the NAS. That will be the fastest way to get it out of Houdini and get back into the UI.
And on a related note, when saving the hip file on the network gets slow check the HOUDINI_BUFFEREDSAVE env var options.
