Hmm.  Sounds like the database is being recomputed by each application, 
which is not supposed to happen.  Could it be that you've got a 
~/.fonts.cache-1 file which is owned by the wrong user?

Next time things seem slow, try:

$ FC_DEBUG=432 fc-list foo

That will generate information about why the cache is broken.
