It sounds like nautilus is blocked waiting for one or more slow mounts.
Most likely that's a network mount, so try removing any of those
temporarily. Less likely it's a local disk failure.
Please also check that the problem is not high CPU by running 'top'.
If you can't find the source of the problem then please:
1. Reboot to create a fresh system log.
2. Reproduce the problem once.
3. Immediately run:
journalctl -b0 > journal.txt
and attach the resulting text file here.

Title:
Gnome takes MORE THAN 20 SECONDS to open a folder
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
After upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04, Ubuntu has become UNUSABLE. When
I try to open e.g. my home folder, or "New Window" from the file tool
in the app bar, it can take 15, 20 or 30 seconds for anything to
happen. Then sometimes the response is instant. Something is seriously
seriously wrong with your software.
