The times when it takes "a little while" to load a man page is because
they are in a compressed format.  When it says "formatting man page..." it
is uncompressing them.  If you access that man page again, you won't see
that message, and it will load much faster. The man pages are then
recompressed if they are not accessed after a certain amount of time.
