Nothing.  AFAIK that's normal.  Does it on my system too (tho mine's a 
bit slower than yours).  If you really care that much, profile it with 
sysprof or callgrind or something and tell me where it's spending too 
much time.  (Sysprof would be nice; I can't do it myself since sysprof 
is x86-only.  Tho callgrind would probably give a log that's easier to 
send.)
