Don't forget step (1) above, and if possible use something simpler
than Firefox to test the problem. Firefox opens huge numbers of
files. My laptop currently has 2721777 (2.7M) files open of which
2256004 are opened by firefox.
You could try the following:
(1) Close whatever applications you don't need to have open.
(2) Get as close as you can to the step that causes the long delay.
(3) As root run and save the outputs of "ps fax" and "lsof -n".
lsof -n is 219k lines ack wc -l.. I should reboot and not restart my
network.
(4) Do the thing that starts the long delay.
Firefox is affected, and common, so I'll use that. But later. (5) Repeat
step 3.
(6) Compare the files from steps 3 and 5.
This might give a clue as to what is doing the delaying.

Thanks Mike, I'll do that when the machine is not so busy, likely about
4 hours.
