Wow.  It's *never* been that slow for me; over a *minute*?  Dude,
something else is wrong.  Unsorted lookup through the whole database
with the default palm app took me ~30s on my Visor Platinum.  I now
use superFinderHack on a Treo 180 and it takes under 10s.

More importantly, however, once I stopped adding new words every day
I re-sorted by word and used the lookup thingy at the bottom, which
is essentially instantaneous.
