Zone bootup can delay it, but not by 5 minutes; the client would time out before then. Odds are the connection between client and server isn't great, either heavy packet loss or kinda slow. The client has to receive quite a bit of data from the server as well as load the zone files before it releases control to the user.
For me with zone caching on and on my local server I can load any given zone in 10-15 seconds.
