Answer:

During a duplicate search, IOM is working to load a display grid with thousands of rows in it.

A performance log would show this:

Tighten up your duplicate criteria so that IOM isn't trying to match on thousands of records. For example, increase the number of characters for the last name from 2 to 5.
