Can't say I've ever noticed a problem on a 1GHz Pi with 20Mbps broadband and wired ethernet - YouTube video playback starts in under 10 seconds. Of course ten seconds may be how long it takes you to grow a beard, who knows unless you can be a little more precise.
Try overclocking. Get a faster internet connection. Don't use WiFi. It's rather hard to be precise when you fail to describe the setup that is causing you a problem.

the addon itself probably could be made more efficient and thus faster. It's also dead slow on my HTPC.

it felt slow in overall usage and I'm not logged it. Only do random searches every once in a while. Maybe addon got better in the meantime - haven't manually used it for some time.
