With AME simply disabled via plugin interface and all other plugins active, the refresh is only 1-2 seconds.
I haven't read through the entire AME forum yet to see if there is a solution? But I am running the latest version and I have been using it for a while. This is why it took me so long to diagnose the problem. I kept looking at plugins I installed recently, not the AME (which I had for a while)....
I do have the FULL list of AME plugins installed, not sure if that a problem oh....
And I am also noticing it more on a government network than a civilian one.
Perhaps the blocking of YouTube and the rest helps create this bottle neck?
Would this happen even on a non-AME post (i.e. text only) - I mean to be honest, I rarely need to benifits of AME as my users don't normally post video and things, but I saw this slow down when simply typing "Testing 12345678"....
When I disabled....
Gone....
Let me add that I am using VBOptimizer and XCache as well....
Oh, and I - ofcourse - enabled any AME optimizations (caching) as well...

This can be an issue and is pretty well documented wherever I could (and also easily worked around).
AME has the ability to go 'fetch' a web page when it discovers a definition match. A good example of this in action is that your youtube.com video link transforms into the video's page title.
So... AME finds a match (and if the setting is on) will go to that page and parse it for information. Generally its just the page title. Sometimes it is to ensure the video can be embedded, etc...
So... If you post 50 youtube.com links in a post and the 'enable extraction' setting is on and the youtube definition has its extraction on, AME will go to youtube 50 times while you are saving your post. That will be a noticeable slowdown. Multiply it by your sites connectivity (i.e. if the site has choked bandwidth, it will be even slower).
The good news is that AME only ever does this when you are saving a post that contains one or more matching definitions. The other good news is that you can also disable the extraction setting both globally as well as per definition (though note that some definitions rely on this feature).
Anyhooo... HTHs
