Thats interesting. I also activate a new Administrator user and the finder works fine there….?!….does that make sense…???
Besides that, I again watched the entries that pop up in the console while the Finder stalls. I randomly double-clicked on Folders on the desktop to "activate" the Finder. To my surprise the results are different now.
These were the results:
FIRST:
06.06.14 08:58:13,084 WindowServer[635]: CGXDisableUpdate: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "Finder" for over 1.00 seconds. Server has re-enabled them.

I also again checked the activity monitor. Nothing interesting happened while finder is unavailable. No task jumps above 4.7% CPU usage. When the text Finder is unavailable turns red, the usage is 0.0.
Here is a screenshot:
