I have the same problem (also running sid). There is a bugreport by me relating to this behaviour. Maybe it will be fixed soon.
I get the same thing on my amd64 box, on my laptop it takes about forever.. :) I saw on the bts that it is caused by some new feature of apt, tags or something. I suspect it will be fixed soon. I guess we'll never take aptitude for granted again. :))
