It seems that a noticeable part of the delay happens if a font is not found.
For example, I had no eufm10.ttf font installed because of the old bakoma
license, and got a delay. I now have it, and that delay is gone, but LyX
still can't find a symbol font (I have that, but qt won't find it, because
it is in type1 format). Does anybody know if there is a free version of the
standard postscript symbol font in truetype format?
The really bad thing is that although type1 fonts cannot be used by qt they
still slow down font searching :-(
