Hi Jon,
What happens if you untick `Automatically adjust clock for daylight
saving changes'?
I haven't had any problems even though my cache was created in April,
but forcing a rebuild results in the same delay you're experiencing
every time unless the automatic clock adjustment is turned off for the
first run.

This did it, Neil! I unchecked the daylight savings box and reinstalled
Lilypond after wiping out the old cache (not sure if these steps were
necessary but I wanted to start out fresh), and after the first run, the
cache was NOT rebuilt again. The difference in speed between Vista and
Ubuntu compiling a lilypond file is now negligible, measured in
fractions of a second instead of minutes. Perhaps this tip should be
posted somewhere official, as a warning on the download page for
installing on Vista or maybe on Valentin's FAQ page? It's beyond my
abilities to figure out how to keep this from happening, but for now at
least it's an easy workaround.
What I have not tried is re-checking the automatic daylight-savings
adjustment box to see if it reverts to the old behavior of always
rebuilding the fontconfig cache. If you'd like me to do this for the
sake of testing, I will.
Glad to put this one to rest :)
Jon
