Something is definitely wrong here.  I have 18 files totaling 14456
lines currently and the agenda displays in 1 second on a not-so-beefy
laptop (1.5GHz Intel P4M) running Linux.

I'm assuming your agenda view is the daily or weekly view.

Try starting with a minimal emacs setup.  Maybe you have some hook
active that is slowing things down.
