Description
Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.26-20170724171020+b095a794e
Whenever I open a system file dialog (e.g. in Sublime Text) I get a beach ball for upwards of 10s.
I also noticed df was slow and then prints an i/o error for /keybase.
This all is fixed upon closing keybase from my menubar.
df: /keybase: Input/output error

Research direction
Reproduce the report on macOS by opening a system file dialog and running the supplied df -h command while Keybase is running, then repeat after closing Keybase. Investigate the Keybase filesystem behavior implicated by the /keybase I/O error; done means these operations no longer pause for about 10 seconds or report the filesystem error.
