You had better look deeper for the source of the problem, XtRealize
widget checks to see if a widget is already realized and if it is then no action is
taken.  

Do you have Save Unders active on your menus?  On slow machines this can
cause things to be really slow.  Especially if it has to page that chunk of
code in from the disk.
