I get exactly the same thing happening.  The first time I thought
something had gone seriously wrong.  The problem is for most of the
time nothing appears to be happening - no mouse or control, no disc 
accesses/swaping - it's just that the cpu is so busy nothing else is 
happening.

It really does seem to take quite some time, but nothing's wrong.
