Feature: Improve loading speed for context menu shell extensions

[yaira2]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Improving the loading speed for shell extensions will allow us to revert the changes in #11110

Requirements

• Load shell extensions faster (use caching?)
• Revert the change in Feature: Move shell extensions to sub menu by default #11110 and display the first few shell extensions in the main menu

Files Version

v2.4.25

Windows Version

Windows 11

The problem is Files.App.Shell.ContextMenu.EnumMenuItems() which in debug mode takes almost 4s 2s to run

What can we do about this? It's quicker in release mode but still too slow.

It even can't finish loading for zip files in preview version

@JiaChen-Zeng that seems like a separate issue, can you please open a new issue to track it?
