What's taking so long when founding a city?

I have also found that when you found a city, in any size map, any amount of Civs, there seems to be a split second lag-time between your settler going "ung" and kneeling, and the city appearing. I have no idea just why this is, as it is a little annoyance even to this day.

My Specs are pretty good as well, so i know its not my computers fault, but the game programming...
