Yes, it's the R working down there.
Is it only the first time when it takes long?
I can cache package names if the number is higher than 200 or so.  I
expect most users have less than 100 packages and it's not necessary
to cache. Caching would imply that newly installed packages are not
recognized and thus not proposed in the completion.

It's the idea Steve Lianoglou gave in his feature request. I've just
implemented it :).

Best,
