When I save a file, I use bash-completion to help write directory names etc, but I know where I'm going, so to speak. But I have this idea at the back of my mind that when a GUI dialog box opens up for you to save a file, it has an extensive look around the filesystem. Direct links (symlinks, I assume) to networked machines is a great way of slowing this process down, and any unresolvable names will make things far worse. Is this a possible cause for your problem? Cheers, David.
