This has probably nothing to do with GNOME (though I am not a GNOME user and
can't tell for sure). First of all, NFS is slow if you aren't on a Gb
network. Secondly, speed depends on the number of objects in you home
directory. I mean toplevel object, files and first subdirectories in there. I
have got over 2000 in mine (before you ask: I am lazy and haven't sorted
those files into appropriate subdirs) and my (KDE) open dialog always takes a
while although my home dir isn't mounted via NFS.
So, how many objects are in your home dir? Try:
ls -1 | wc
That "-1" is the digit one. The first number in its output will tell you.

Can't say anything about this.
