And what you feel is extremely individual. For me it is an irritating long time. And most of the 20 seconds is waiting for the lookup and then you do not do anything else. And since it is individual it is much better measure the time and to tell people how long time it takes so they have better information to make their decisions.

I think I measured how long time it took me to look up a word in the Cybook text in the N810 dictionary and it was less than 20 seconds if I remember correctly.
