Reproduction steps:
1. Create a new 3D project
2. Close the Editor
3. Open the project again without changing the default hard limit of open files and observe the opening time
4. Close the project
5. Set the hard limit of open files to a high number with 'ulimit -n -H 536870908'
6. Open the project again and observe the opening time

Expected results: Project opening time is the same with both the default and changed hard limits of open files
Actual results: Project opening freezes for 1-2 minutes when the hard limit of the number of open files is high
