[Python] What is the performance implication of storing Conda environments and packages in a...

I use conda on a Linux server to manage Python packages. The server has quite limited storage and the Python environments are quickly exhausting the local disk so I'm thinking of changing where conda environments and packages are stored from the current local disk to a network-attached storage, which has much larger capacity:

conda config --env --prepend pkgs_dirs /path/to/NAS/.conda/pkgs


This remote storage is connected to the server via a 100Gbps link. Would this affect the performance of my Python programs?
