This is because the similar-bugs lookup does a full text search for whatever you type in. The more words you type, the longer the search is going to take, since it's trying to find any of the words in all bugs filed on a project. It treats characters like '/' and '-' as word boundaries, so the string "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/bin/javaws" is actually 12 words long as far as it's concerned.

That the query is inefficient is definitely a problem. One way to work around it is to make the list of possible duplicates load asynchronously, which we're currently working on.
