Macbook pro Sierra. Slow finder open/save as dialog boxes
So after quite a few months of this problem going on.  I decided to sit down for a few hours and find the solution for myself.  Turns out, the solution was rather simple, but it might be a trouble point in other cases more than mine.  Ultimately, My problem was with Icloud.  After removing ICloud functionality from my mac, the problem instantly vanished.  Fortunately, I do not use ICloud at all and instead, opt for Google Drive.  For some, I say this might be a trouble point because it requires removing Icloud files.
