I don't think it is normal. Depends what do you mean as log on as root, switch to normal user and switch back. Doing it on console should be instantaneous. Doing it in a terminal window should be fast as well. I don't recommend to log in graphical session as root.

You may run 'top' and look what is going on when you switch the user.

best,

Ott

How are you switching users? Are you switching in X as it is probably reloading everything once again for each user or using su... etc?
