Everything else works fine but when I open my home folder or move stuff around in it my cpu gets really high and everything slows down.
This started to happen after upgrading to 11.10. Everything in 11.04 worked fine.
Does anybody know why?
Is there a solution to this?

Unless you find out which program is spiking the CPU you can't solve the problem. Use a system monitor such as
System Monitororhtopto see which program is responsible for consuming your CPU. It might be Nautilus, or it might be something else.In my case, Compiz eats a lot of CPU. The only solution I've found is to run an environment that doesn't use Compiz, such as Unity 2D or Gnome Shell.
