I have only one dictionary - the Chambers 10th edition, about 25MB.
If it's a word with a choice in the dictionary, it takes about six seconds for the choice menu to appear. If it only has a single entry, it takes about eight seconds for the dictionary page to appear.
I have one of the original CyBook Gen3s, with 64MB internal memory, not 512MB.

Now I'm really puzzled
How is it possible there is so much difference (6 seconds vs almost 20 seconds) between the lookup times of two 'old' machines.
The only explanation I can come up with is the I/O time of reading from and writing to the SD-card. If Tommy's dictionary is on his SD-card and Paul's is on the main-memory I guess we have an answer, but otherwise ?????????
