No, if it was a GVFS bug, it would occur also when I request Kaffeine to
play the file. In the bug report I did not tell anything about the speed
of listing directory content. I did not ask VLC to list files in the
directory, but to play a file that is located there.

The bug may occur when I browse files in Thunar file manager (1.6.3) and
use "open with" feature to play a file by VLC. Effectively, Thunar adds
a path under /run/user/ as an argument for VLC or Kaffeine. If I use
PCManFM (1.2.0) to "open with", a smb-url is used, instead, and then VLC
does not have such a delay before playback. On the other hand Kaffeine
can not play such a smb-url.

The bug still exists in VLC  2.1.4-0-g2a072be

Title:
  gvfs takes ages to list SMB directory content from VLC

Status in “vlc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The problem files are located in certain folder, whose name is
  "music". Files on other folders play fine. If I copy a problematic
  file to another folder, it plays fine there, but not in the music
  folder. And while it is trying to start to play the file, vlc does not
  respond, if I order it to quit. Even killig by signal 1 or 15 fails,
  but I can kill it by signal 2. It seems VLC can read the file; it can
  show media information. After several minutes playback starts.
