what font are you using?
Perhaps, if you you large fonts like cyberbit ttf font, it is highly
possible.
At what time do you see the delay: at the beginning of
the presentation, or in the middle of the presentation?

If that's the case, the solution would be to to load all 
the fonts at the loading of the
document (a delay at the beginning the of the presentation
seems less annoying to me than a delay in the middle of the
presentation?)
This would require a patch of magicpoint.
