This is pretty much it. The assistive technology stack has to create accessible objects for the contents of 
the page, and this takes time. I am pretty sure that you would experience something similar on other OSs with 
other screen readers.

Again the assistive technology stack having to iterate through the content of the page and the accessible 
objects representing that page.
