it's a custom agenda that collects all appointments for the next four
weeks:

       ( "z" "Appointments for the next four weeks" agenda ""
        ((org-agenda-skip-function
          (lambda nil
        (org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'nottodo '("APPT"))))
         (org-agenda-ndays 28)
         (org-agenda-include-diary nil )))

OK, five seconds is an upper boundary, it might take more like three
seconds or so. I count twentyone, twentytwo, ... to 'measure' the
duration of the operation. With this higly accurate method I can't
observe much difference if I started with loaded org files or not.

Ah, nice. Now I have to wait til the misbehaviour occurs again.
