title: OpenCV imread and imwrite too slow on Google Drive using CoLab
body: <p>I'm using Google CoLab and running a snippet of code that iterates over 170K-190K images, reads them from a path like <strong>gdrive/My Drive/folder1/img.jpg</strong> using <code>cv2.imread</code> function, then resizes them using <code>cv2.resize</code> function, then writes them in a path like <strong>gdrive/My Drive/folder2/img.jpg</strong> using <code>cv2.imwrite</code>.</p>
  <p>But it is WAY TOO SLOW. I used to run in on my device using Jupyter Notebook, on Linux Ubuntu LTS18.04 OS, and it iterated fast. Now, each iteration takes near 30 seconds, which will estimate that the code will take near 65 days?!</p>
  <p>What is causing it to be that slow on CoLab and how can I make it faster?</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
