[Ti] Slow finder on a 17" Al

[khyber courchesne]

Thanks for the tip john.
Unfortunealty the beachball of death happens right off any fresh reboot, so
the console shows nothing.  In fact, Activity Monitor doesn't really show a
spike either.  Still 3-5 minutes to get a finder window, either from
Command-N or clicking on a desktop folder.
