was the project started as a online collaborative / shared project ? is it trying to phone home to a remote server to check the project in ?
where are your conform files going or set to go ? my guess is PP is reconforming the media on each open. generally this had been fixed but you may have found a special case situation, especially if your network has a 256 char path problem. try shortening the path names of folders in the project, relink, see if that fixes it.
my other suggestion is to try to export XML from PP, and import that into a clean new project, or try to import the orig project into a new one and see if that fixes it.

I’ve recently had a lot of issues when freelancing onsite with networked storage, even theoretically fast SANs etc. had to bring a project locally, but it was more for playback than saving. Premiere too. That sounds outside of the range of normality though for a decent network setup. What format are the files? MXF can cause some issues too, I usually transcode those to DPX or EXR for AE I haven’t gotten as far as tracking or anything. I’m just trying to start… So far I have a project that has less than 100 clips in it, and it takes 30+ minutes to open and save. We have a beefy network infrastructure. Connections are 10 gig. It’s not a network optimised for editing, but that’s not what I’m doing. There’s something wrong somewhere. There are less than 100 clips to import, 1/2 hour is about 1800 seconds. So basically AE is taking roughly 18 - 20 seconds to check each clip - every time the project is opened or saved. This is not even playback. I’m just trying to import. And I checked - all the clips are 2K ProRes quicktimes. Not even that heavy. Obviously I have tried things like purging the cache, restarting, and so on.
I had a quick word with our IT guy and one thing he said to check is if the file path is over 256 characters long. Apparently that can cause wierd issues with our setup - could be something that is unique to our server etc. It’s the sort of tip I was looking for and I hope that’s it.
If I find a solution or can identify a problem then I’ll let you know.
