Hello everyone, after restarting my computer, the finder does not find files within folders.
This happens on the first access to the finder. The files are displayed only after a few seconds.
Here a video to explain the problem, for example in the download folder:

My computer is MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012
thanks
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Stefano -
This finder latency in Mavericks is running across all models..
Thanks for your answer, however, I have not noticed the problem on all computers running mavericks
The problem does not occur if the computer is not connected to a WiFi network
First time a site that loading slow for you. This site is suggested to test since it loads slow. Sports Illustrated: http://www.si.com You should instantly know if things have improved when visiting that site. (note: loads in under 3 seconds for me)
Download and run: Namebench (free) http://code.google.com/p/namebench/
Once you have the fastest domain name servers, you then have to manually change your DNS settings in System Preferences/Network/
Select different browsers under the popup. I got variying results when using different browsers. Surprisingly, Firefox suggest Google Public DNS as primary, but Chome and Safri gave me same settings.
System Preferences > Network > Select you internet service (be it Airport, Ethernet etc) then click advanced tab > Select DNS and enter the settings
BTW, Google server settings are- 8.8.8.8
Another option is to try turning off IPv6:
In System Preferences --> Network -> choose the Ethernet tab in the far left column --> Advanced button -> TCP/IP tab --> Configure IPv6: dropdown menu, choose Off --> Okay button.
The reason that turning IPv6 off may improve performance is that some DNS servers do not properly respond to IPv6 requests. As a result, your computer has to time out waiting for a response and then try a secondary DNS server.
In recent versions of OS X, IPv6 typically is set to "automatic" by default. You have nothing to lose by turning IPv6 to "off" and then seeing if performance improves.
Hope this helps!
This could be a good reason, thank you for reply, I'll try as soon as the computer returns from assistance for the replacement of the retina display due to image retention
Option "Off" is not available. I see only three option: automatic, static and local link. With option "local link" nothing change in Finder.
Thank you dianeoforegon it worked very well, i turned the IPv6 settings to "local link" and set the DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 after running Namebench. Now finder starts up normally.
Glad that worked for you.

It solved my problem, I run Namebench and setted the raccomanded DNS. I didn't need to change the IPv6 settings.
Now finder work really well!
Today I took the macbook at the Apple Store, Apple changed my retina LG display under warranty due to the image retention.
I explained the FInder delay problem to the Genius which has categorically ruled out that the problem could be caused by DNS 🙂
Yes, it works - Finder is fast!IPv6 local-link only and DNS Server 8.8.8.8. Thankx
Now work fine, thank you. Why Finder works better with Google dns?
Hello mrt60,
The Option "Off" is not visible by default. You can enable this using the Terminal and type following commands:
For WI-FI
networksetup -setv6off WI-FI
For Wired Ethernet
networksetup -setv6off
Back to your Network-Settings you can choose Off
To List all available Networks with following Option in th Terminal
networksetup -listallnetworkservices
Settings back to default
networksetup -setv6automatic
@all
Use anyone AVM Devices? I have a cable Modem and sometimes the network slow down if I'm online. The problem decreased a little to me when I disable the IPv6 Option in the Router. So still exists you are all welcome if you have any solution in reletionship with AVM Routers.
Thanks,

Working workaround:
Use the following statements in Terminal.
sudo vi /etc/auto_master
In this file comment out /net with # (#/net .....)
sudo automount -vc
Fixed.
Works fine. Thank you. What's mean this command?
Hosts Automounts
The hosts type of automount allows autofs to run showmount “-e” on each entry in the hosts database (usually in /etc/hosts) to discover shares exported by those servers. If auto_master contains:
/net -hosts
and the /etc/hosts file contains:
##
# Host Database
#
192.168.1.3 suse.baranaba.com
and suse.baranaba.com is exporting these shares:
# showmount -e suse.baranaba.com Exports list on suse.baranaba.com: /shared 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 /bin 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 /opt 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 /home 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
then the /net directory will contain:
bash-3.2# ls -R /net suse.baranaba.com
/net/suse.baranaba.com:
bin home opt shared
Since Mac OS X contains entries for localhost and broadcast in the /etc/hosts file, entries for these will appear in /net. However, since these do not have shares exported, no shares will be triggered when they are accessed in /net. They can safely be ignored.
The hosts automount map is normally specified with the nobrowse option, so shares or exports that have not already been mounted will not appear (either with the ls terminal command or the Finder). Since this option is not currently supported, an entry for each host will appear in the /etc/hosts file.
The file open dialog everytime scans this share ... disabling the automount stops the slowdowns. And it makes rich and sexy. 😉 Do you loose something? No.
