MacBook Pro Retina 2013 very slow shutdown

Sorry - posted this inadvertently in the ML-Section.....OK, here we go again...

Hi community, I'm running a (almost) brandnew late 2013 MBPr 15", OSX10.9., 16 GB RAM , 1TB SSD. Startup ist reasonably fast, but the shutdown ist awfully slow. If I press the Power button, the screen gets light grey, after a while a spinning wheel appears and after approx. 50 sec up to a minute the machine shuts down. I didnt't install any crapware such as MacHelper but scanning through the threads in this community I noticed that Parallels seems to cause many issues concerning a slow shutdown and I'm indeed running a Win 7 prof-VM under Parallels 9.

About the first appearance of the shutdown lag I'm unsure since the first few days I didn't shut down the MB but put it to sleep.

So far I've only disabled (and de-installed) Sophos AV-software, iCloud and Synology CloudStation - to no avail. Also I've looked in the Konsole logs which looked quite frightening whith lots of "faults" and such....but didn' give me any clues and repaired permissions. I'm unsure about deinstalling Parallels because I need it for work. Is there any other possibility to determine wether Parallels is causing these lags ?

Compared to my iMac (early 2008, 10.6.8), which is loaded with all kind of data and software (but not Parallels !), the latter shuts down in about 10 secs....my MacBook should make it much faster...

Any suggestions ?

MACBOOK PRO (RETINA, 15-INCH, LATE 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9), 24'' iMac Intel DualCore early 2008
