I was too hasty in my post. Apparently, the delays are not consistent.
They disappeared temporarily after I mucked around with the memory
settings, but returned a short while later.
For what its worth, I also have significant delays when I run the command
"enscript --help". I've even had it apparently lock up.
There may be some connection with system load. I don't know.
