Suppose I launch a shell in an Aquamacs frame (M-x shell), and try to open any HTML file, as with ‘open file.html’. It takes 6-8 seconds for the page to open, even if the browser app is already running. This happens on two different computers (work Mac Pro, home MacBook Pro), both running OS X Mojave (currently 10.14.15), and with both Safari and Chrome.

I can reproduce it with the Aquamacs GUI on Mojave. As you report, it doesn’t happen running ‘aquamacs -nw’ in a terminal.
For me, it happens with shell-mode using bash or zsh, and with eshell.
It doesn’t seem to be sluggish opening a PDF with Preview, but it is also slow opening a text file with TextEdit.
I’m not sure what to make of this combination of symptoms.
