That seems to be a delay caused by Axis, not by the interpreter. As far as the interpreter is concerned, there is no such thing as a load. (Or that was the case the last time I looked.)
If you have some subroutines defined near the beginning of the file, there is a delay while they are noticed and skipped over. Otherwise, as soon as it reads a block it executes it. I could imagine a delay of 6-10 seconds, but not 6-10 minutes. My guess is that even when it sees the (AXIS, STOP) comment, it continues to interpret the file, it just skips the "motion" -- which in this case means it skips the graphics. There's a good chance that it even continues to interpret subroutine calls and loops. (Assuming I'm correct) I've never looked at the source to Axis, but it might be possible to change it so that when is sees the STOP, it starts reading the input directly and skips until it sees an (AXIS, START) or end of file.
