latex very slow on mac os x



Hello all,

I have installed latex on my PowerBook G4 (under tiger) using
i-Installer.
I have compiled this very simple tex file:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
\author{nobody}
\title{Débuter}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{Section One}
C'est super
\subsection{Nice}
gros delire

\section{Title2}
$$x^2+\cos \mathrm{x}$$
\end{document}

and it took 5min to obtain the pdf file (I try few time), which is very
very slow ... :(
(time pdflatex file.tex
real 5m22.547s
user 1m10.612s
sys 1m3.317)

One of my friend try the same example (with the same configuration),
and for him its took few seconds.
Does anyone have an idea about this strange behaviour ?
by advance thank you

cheers
Olivier
