I think this bug captures most of the details, not sure if there's another one. I'll peek and respond if I find another.

I don't know if anyone on windows was ever able to isolate the problem. With me it has been very intermittent. Sometimes there's a delay, sometimes not. Hasn't been an issue at all for a while. I also know that I first encountered it before version 4.0.0. maybe on 3.6.4?
We had another bug report related to a long delay when calling the pager (anything that has more than one screen's worth of text to display). Never able to isolate a cause. Never sure if it was related to the plotting delay.

Thanks for the link. I am either seriously bad at using the Savannah search or it doesn’t do a good job of searching. I swear I used keywords like “Windows”, “plot”, and “delay” and this one wasn’t even in the list.Thanks,John
