I've also noticed the slowness of nautilus and also noted it uses close to 100% CPU load as well.
I ran into the same problem and created https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/glib2/pull-request/23 with a glib2 backport that fixes it for me.
Updating XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR value in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to $HOME/Templates works around the issue in the interim.
