To add to this, I am experiencing what could be the same issue with
23.1.50.1 (running on Windows 7).  For me, the unresponsiveness seems to
be directly related to operations that involve the file system,
visiting, saving, etc.  When out of the office, if I disconnect from all
networks, the delays disappear.
