According to the thread Thibault linked to, it has to do with the CPU scaling of your computer. In your System Preferences, under Energy Saver, check to see what "Processor Performance" says (on OSX 10.4 at least that is where I find it). If it reads "Automatic" or "Reduced" instead of "Highest", then you're not playing with a full deck of cards ;-)

if you pause your computer (you close it), wait 30 seconds, and open it, the CPU utilisation will be very lower. Then, you can create the window. The performances are really VERY different.
That is really crazy. (that closing and reopening the gemwin helps isn't less crazy either)
Does your "method" work only with GEM or does that improve the performance of the computer in general?
