Just happened here too. Ubuntu 13.10 on a Macbook Retina accessing a Synology NAS. Nautilus hung up while browsing a folder on the NAS. After killing and restarting nautilus, gvsd-afp-browse stayed at 100% cpu. Ejecting the drive did not help. It was not possible anymore to access the NAS, when trying to mount it in the network view I got "Cannot acces [nas_name]: Error sending data: broken pipe". After killing gvsd-afp-browse, I was able to access the NAS again (I had to reenter the credentials).

For no reason gvfsd-afp starts up. Cooling fan kicks in, system becomes laggy. Easily cured using system monitor and killing the process. Someone on the Ubuntu Forum asked if I have a Mac on the network and the answer is yes, an iMac and there are shares on that machine I can access.
