I've now got my new laptop up and running, so at last I can check how LilyPond works under Vista. It works pretty well! :) Release 2.11.42-1 installed without problems and (apart from the very first run of around 50 secs) runs a trivial file in around 3 secs flat, including the conversion to pdf. So I don't see the slowness problem at all :) Well, it's good news for me, but not for diagnosing the problem others see.
Some facts that might have a bearing: This was a clean install of Vista, not an upgrade. This was the very first LilyPond installation on this system. I had admin priviledges during the install, although removing them later has no effect on running LilyPond. The font cache was built in [user]/.lilypond-fonts.cache-2/ and contains the usual three files. BTW, the early message of mine about ice-9 not being in the load path on my XP system was a red herring - it was due to my path not being set correctly.
