I just tried it on this laptop (HP 1.2GHz Athlon-XP w/256GB RAM).  It
took just under 15 seconds for the first load and less than 7 for the
second.

I have noticed that there are plenty of programs which run much more
slowly on P4 systems that I use then on other i686 class machines.  If I
were to guess as to a cause of this, I would pick the "out-of-order"
execution optimizations (among all the other "special" things) that have
not been done specifically for Pentium 4 CPUs for the the i386 packages
that are installed.

Anyway, just a concept.
