I don't know.  After loading Custom, it takes a minute or two to
create the buffer with the list of fonts.  Clicking the button to open
the attributes table takes 10-15 seconds for the table to appear.  I
do have lazy lock running, but should that matter in the Custom
buffer? 

I note that with xemacs -q -no-site-file, things are faster.  In my
usual setup, there are many more fonts (font-lock, etc.), and even
more if you have GNUS running.
