I think this works around the problem:

sudo -i
echo '#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gnome-panel &' > /usr/local/bin/gnome-panel
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gnome-panel

Logout or reboot, the panel should load quickly now.

In other words, it seems like something is waiting for gnome-panel to finish loading, and if it's put in the background, then everything goes fast again and the panel itself loads quickly...
