I know of no such change: certainly not on the level of Aquamacs.   
It's possible that a change to Emacs 22 has caused this.

Please investigate.  Enable "Enter Debugger on Quit", then start an  
operation within find-file and ido-mode that will lead to a "wait",  
then press C-g while you wait.  Have a look at what's happening at the  
moment.
It may be helpful to do this a couple of times to see if it's  
consistent.

Also, try the GNU Emacs build from the Aquamacs web site (nightly  
builds), or at least start Aquamacs with -Q.

Btw, I can't reproduce: everything is fast and zippy for me.
