Try this for both cases:
KPATHSEA_DEBUG=-1 mf-nowin -progname=mf "\mode:=ljfour; mode_setup; end."
and press Ctrl-C after, say, two seconds, if necessary. The
comparison of the output should help identify the `hot spots'. [I
assume that you are running a distribution like tetex or TeXLive which
uses the kpathsea library for searching files.]
What you describe shouldn't happen. Maybe your TeX distribution is
somehow screwed up. If everything fails, reinstall it or upgrade to a
newer version. On my platform (using GNU/Linux with TeXLive 2007)
everything is just fine.
