Bug Description
Some updates on Feb. 10:
1. This happens with non-cli applications such as firefox, gedit, meld who have a nautilus like open/select file dialog. When you select file in such a dialog, the cpu consumption will be 100%
2. This happens with a NIS authenticated account. Local account doesn't observe this.
3. This happens when browsing home folder and other folders owned by this NIS account. If browsing other directories such as /etc or the root /, problem is not observed.
=======
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5, also found in gedit, meld
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
firefox:
Installed: 3.5.7+nobinonly
Candidate: 3.5.7+nobinonly
Version table:

3) What you expected to happen
Open any website which contains something to let you upload, such as composing an email. When you try to upload, Firefox will let you make selection.
Or just select "File->Open File..." from Firefox main menu to see the file selection dialog comes up.
I am expecting selecting a file will be quite smooth operation.
4) What happened instead
It takes ~6s to get file list shown completely in "Open File" dialog. If you scroll, refresh will take another ~5s. CPU usage will be 100% .
I can use shell to do ls in the directory that Firefox opens without any problem.
Recently I moved my home from a NFS mount to a local mount.
Previous:
my home is /home1/foo while /home1 is a NFS mount
Now,
my home is still /home1/foo but it's copied from previous NFS mount. And the NFS mount is now mounted at /home2.
Will this be the cause?
