This may or may not have anything to do with the heat. There are some
people complaining about slow Macs with Mavericks, especially Finder
windows.

A couple of suggestions I've come across to try are:

   - deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
     (you may then need to reset some of your Finder preferences)
   
   - commenting out a line in the /etc/auto_master
     configuration file, which has to be done via Terminal
          - open Terminal
          - type: sudo nano /etc/auto_master
          - you will see a line that says something like
                /net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
          - change that line by adding a # character at the
            start (the # can be removed again later if you
            want to)
          - press Ctrl-O to save the changes
          - press Ctrl-X to quit
          - this stops Finder from potentially stalling when
            checking for networked drives that aren't there,
            which is apparently a bug in Mavericks
