So I'm running Mavericks (10.9.4) on a 2013 iMac with 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor and 16GB 1600MHz DDR3, and I'm having this issue where, when going through and renaming a sequence of files, Finder starts to run progressively slower with each rename. This can be seen in the video below, and it should be noted that during this video there are 0 applications launched, and the only background applications are: Dropbox (not syncing anything), 1Password, CloudApp, and Private Internet Access. I also took the liberty of disconnecting both my 4TB and 2TB external drives, however that did nothing.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this? In my searching for a solution I found that some people repaired permissions in Disk Utility as well as going into Terminal and disabling Finder auto-sleep, however that did nothing, as this video was captured after that had been done and the computer had been restarted.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as this is killing my productivity! I have 400 files I need to go through and rename for my organizational purposes, and at this rate it will take a ludicrous amount of time. Thanks!
