[X4U] OT: NAS Slows to a Crawl

[Neil]

OK, to be 100% accurate, opening the folder wasn't the very first  
thing I did after restart.  I had an error message about afp_mount  
needing access to my keychain.  I Googled afp_mount and dismissed  
that error message.  Then, I tried to open a folder on the SMB share.
