OK, I've found the deal here as well.

When I use a frame of the size I normally use (the full height of my
screen, I believe 58 lines or so), it's slow.  Times like I showed
before, over 10.  When I use a tiny little frame, just big enough to
display the towers, it rocks.  Under 4 seconds.

It also matters if there are other frames up (I made the mistake of
trying it again after I'd started composing this, with a VM frame up
as well as a frame containing this msg, and even though I stopped
writing, it was slow).

I imagine this makes sense to those of you who know the code.
