This comes from fontconfig, I think. Do you probably have added the
whole TeXLive font tree to fontconfig? This makes fontconfig slooow,
at least on my GNU/Linux box...

The question is whether 2.5 minutes is expected for creating the font
cache. If you say
fc-list
on the command line, how many fonts are listed? On my box, due to
TeXLive, I have more than 9000 fonts...
Another test is to find out how long
fc-cache --verbose --force
needs for building the whole cache – I think something similar to this
is what lilypond triggers if run the first time.
