A directory special remote is just a bunch of files. A bare repo has the git history and all the metadata for the bunch of files. Git itself on slow and bad filesystems is not fun and git-annex having to comb through many git objects to extract metadata for the actual annexed files is most likely the bottleneck here. Best is to not run any git-annex commands directly on the bad filesystem, but elsewhere and operate the bad filesystem repo as a remote. Then you let git-annex gather its information on a fast filesysetm and hardware and let it do only the copying of real files to and from the bad filesystem. At least that's my experience.
