Please post some measurements (the original report says "a few
seconds", which is quite vague) and the basic performance data of your
machine.  Also, please tell if this happens with every file, even one
visited in Fundamental mode, or only with some files.  I will then try
to reproduce this.  Best I remember, I didn't have such problems on my
machine, but maybe I misremember.
