Don't mount all 11 volumes. Just mount one or two. See if the stability is improved...
(to elaborate) My thinking is that mounting a volume is a memory expensive task. If your Finder is unstable, you have either a memory problem or a bus problem. Having fewer mounted will change that variable a bit. If it makes a diff in your stability, you can investigate this avenue further.
Make sure you're not auto-launching anything (StartUp Items folder empty). Right after your Mac boots, just drag some of the volumes to the trash to dismount them. Then work normally and see how things do.
Do you have MacsBug installed? If not, do so. A stdlog could be very revealing...
