Slow browsing of the MSFT Network Neighborhood via Nautilus was observed a few weeks ago, at least by me and some others. The situation corrected for me with a kernel upgrade. I would launch "Network Servers" from the Gnome app menu and the thing would wait quite a long time (in hours!) until the "Windows Network" would appear. However, the problem is now corrected and I am using kernel 2.6.8-1.521.
