I have the system upgraded till the latest packages, and it continues to
happen with gnome-terminal.

I've tried with terminator and with this it's much faster. I would say
that it's less than one second to open a new tab.

My computer is a bit old, with 1Gb of physical RAM. But I've compared the 
memory usage of both programs:
zeus      5789  1.9  3.8 238944 39832 ?        Sl   21:40   0:04 gnome-terminal
zeus      5790  0.0  0.0  14480   792 ?        S    21:40   0:00  \_ 
gnome-pty-helper
zeus      5791  0.1  0.4  21724  4380 pts/0    Ss+  21:40   0:00  \_ bash
zeus      6064  8.0  0.4  21724  4384 pts/1    Ss   21:44   0:00  \_ bash
zeus      6085  0.0  0.1  15388  1232 pts/1    R+   21:44   0:00      \_ ps axuf
zeus      5848  0.7  3.5 349276 36808 ?        Sl   21:41   0:01 
/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/terminator
zeus      5851  0.0  0.0  14480   788 ?        S    21:41   0:00  \_ 
gnome-pty-helper
zeus      5852  0.1  0.4  21720  4372 pts/3    Ss+  21:41   0:00  \_ /bin/bash
zeus      5871  0.1  0.4  21720  4368 pts/4    Ss+  21:41   0:00  \_ /bin/bash

And seems that gnome-terminal uses less memory than terminator. So it
should be something else...
