Shotwell is *REALLY* slow with git annex (many symlinks)

Description
I am using shotwell and storing photos in ~/photos which is a symlink to ~/annex/photos.
~/annex again is a git annex'ed (https://git-annex.branchable.com/) directory, which converted all pictures into symlinks:

After viewing a couple of pictures, shotwell becomes unusable slow, also deleting pictures from the camera (the confirm dialog) takes ~30s to disappear.
Using shotwell on arch linux:
