Scott, Could this possibly be related to this issue bug 14116 <http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14116>?
Mark W. stated in a comment there that the screen loading times may have something to do with a change in the way that fonts were handled between LC 6.6 and LC 6.7. I wonder if the issue you described is related somehow. Maybe it’s also caused by this change to using CoreText in iOS. Specifically, see his comment from February 27.
