Support for special stuff such as graphics and color takes time &
effort for each driver separately. Support for metapost has been
improved on the first day when XeTeX for linux came out, but support
for xdv2pdf will most probably never be available unless one of the
users would be willing to write it. (Also, more and more features are
now only available for xdvipdfmx. It might be that support for xdv2pdf
gets dropped completely one day - but I'm just speculating, I don't
know anything about it.)

Sorry, I don't use that program. On Windows I use gsview and
everywhere else I still manuall close & open the viewer.
I have no idea why the long delay occurs.
