File browsing incredibly slow in shared folders

I posted about this yesterday, but I have a little more information. Ever since upgrading to Mavericks, my Mac is *fantastically* slow browsing local folders which are shared. This is paricularly true for embedded browsing, like from Facebook or MS Office. For example, my Pictures folder is shared, and if I go to insert a photo from a file in PowerPoint, it takes a full *45 seconds* for finder window to open. Once it's open, it takes roughly 10 seconds to navigate from from one directory to another. It's really madenning. Once I get out of the shared folder, everything is lightning fast again.


I've temporarily solved the problem by turning off sharing on the Pictures folder, but I like to access it from my other computer, so I'd like to fix the problem. This all worked fine before I upgraded (from 10.6).


Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Figured it out (or at least found a fix). The folder was marked as shared, but somehow filesharing had gotten turned off during the upgrade. I reenabled filesharing, set the folder back to shared, and everything works perfectly again.
