Most ugly unexplained delays in IDL tend to relate to the automatic
path searching IDL does to locate new routines (and class definition
files, etc.). Take a close look at your IDL path, and make sure it
doesn't send IDL scurrying all over the hard drive just to find a
newly invoked routine. This can cause big delays.
