What version of InDesign? Are you using any type of font utility?

 

I've seen a delay like this when there is a problem with the font used in the frame, and in some cases when the font is only available from the Document Fonts folder, and not installed at the OS level. InDesign can sometimes act as though it has to reread/rechache the entire font every time you attempt to edit, and it causes the kind of delay you're seeing. So do some experimenting and observation in that context with different fonts and families.
