Th slowdown seems to be related to getting the file icons in the (main?) table. 
It looks like it\s happening in Launch Services. Perhaps there is a problem 
with your LS database. That may be related to the upgrade of your system. 
Perhaps this can be fixed by resetting your LS database, which yup can do with 
the following command:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister
 -kill -r -all local,user,system

If that does not work, you can also try and remove the file columns from the 
table as a workaround.
