The first thing would be to make sure that it’s really having trouble finding F::Q. Take a look at the trace file (http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Trace_File) and see if there’ really a 90-second gap in the timestamps before the 
“Found Finance::Quote” message. GnuCash runs with the —debug flag on Macs, so the file will be pretty verbose, if there’s really a delay that should show it.
