It depends on your settings and the type of file (image type).  What is a 'regular one' ?

PSDs only support embedded metadata so the file has to be expanded and then the metadata is inserted.  They will be slow if the file size is large.

Thanks for explanation. So, TIFFs will be slow too?

Yes, if they're large and the media that they're stored on is slow.
