ICloud's "Back to My Mac" Crawls after 10.7.3 update

Question

Before I upgraded all of my systems (MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Pro) to 10.7.3 I was able to have very fast mouse responsiveness and graphics updates using vnc:// and iCloud's "Back to My Mac" when connecting to any of my Macs in various offices. Over Cable/DSL links and on fast campus networks, I never had problems before with using iCloud's "Back to My Mac". However, since the latest 10.7.3 update, all of my vnc:// and "Back to My Mac" sessions have slowed down to a crawl, literally. Mouse clicks are unresponsive. Screen updates are delayed and infrequent. I've tried both Adaptive Quality and Full Quality, both are equally terrible. Please help fix this once monumentally useful tool from the iCloud suite so that I can continue working remotely from home. Thanks.
ps, It was recommended on "Mac OS Ken's" podcast to download and install the 10.7.3 update using the 10.7.3 (client combo), available via download from http://support.apple.com/downloads. Updating using this method did not fix my problems. Please advise.

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the times of the log messages referring to boot times. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the time of the most recent boot when you had the problem. Look for error messages in the minutes before that time, and post them here -- the text, please, not a screenshot. Edit out excessive repeats, if any. Do the same with kernel.log.
If the logs don't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2 and /private/var/log/kernel.log.0.bz2. Search those archived logs, and if necessary the older ones below them, for the same information.
Also in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please do not post shutdownStall or hang logs -- they're very long and not helpful.
