I don't have any suggestions to help Mark, but I have noticed the same thing.
Whenever a window needs to be refreshed, the AppleShare arrows flash -- but
this does NOT happen for all windows.  I have noticed this phenomenon occurs
whenever I open a System folder (whether on my startup hard drive or on a
floppy inserted in the floppy drive) or a folder I have called "Binaries".
The delay is so noticeable on the "Binaries" folder that it only draws two
file/folder names at a time (View is set to "by Name").  Like Mark, I too
am curious (although I haven't gone the extreme route of unmounting the 
server -- yet).
