Thanks for all the help regarding the slow HC 2.0.
It was indeed the Mac Portable power saving feature.
If you too are suffering from the slow HC syndrome,
then you need to open the "Portable" control panel 
document and option-click the top of the dialog box,
this will bring this totally invisible, well hidden,
although documented somewhere in the Portable manuals
dialog in which you could specify that the Mac should
not go to sleep after 15 secs of no user input.

It is also a problem with HC 2.0 that does not inform
the Mac that it is doing something.
