I retested this by rebooting Windows 8.1 and loading JQt. I now find that the initial load of J takes about 4 seconds, and subsequent loads <1 second.
The first time I had tested was immediately after installation, and perhaps whatever initialization needed by Windows was done during the installation itself. So it looks like a few seconds are needed the first time JQt is loaded, and otherwise it is essentially immediate. Mike's problem is most likely related to his machine or other software that he has installed.
