Don't forget that the time taken to build the file list is a function of the number of files present, and not their size. If you have many millions of small files, it will indeed take a very long time. Over sshfs with a slowish link, it could be days.
Well, sure. My assumption is that the OP's ~120GB of storage was likely not more files than my 30TB. (I have a lot of large files, but a lot of small files too.)
