Yes, I assume it might have been a shell extension - google drive or PDF x-change... maybe?
Of course those extensions inter-relate with explorer maybe that's why I was seeing explorer in resource monitor.
Now it takes 8 seconds to see the right click menu on the whole 60GB "Portable" folder containing some programs including calibre portable and both the library and the export folders...
Ha!... while using "Free disk analyzer" on partition D and Showman on partition C to see largest folders explorer just crashed and restarted . .. so typical of Windows 8!
A right click on the largest folder on C: (Users, 17GB) is instant.
A right click on another folder (13 GB) containg few large files is also istant.
Maybe the problem appears for folders with lots of small files - maybe if there are some properties handlers for them.
