I think a relevant factor may be the number of fonts you have
installed. Quite a while ago I installed the EFF collection of fonts
on my Iyonix. Ever since then whenever !NetSurf loads it displays a
window showing progress on scanning fonts. It always appears to stick
briefly when scanning Swz.narrow and then completes I can't see
anything about that font to know why it takes longer to scan. When I
bought this ARMini I copied the fonts across and have always had the
same behaviour.

So, having read the other responses, I suspect that if you just have
the original fonts supplied installed then the scanning of them will
normally be so quick that you don't notice it. So maybe a recent
change slowed that down.
