Well, that could be it;
1. Postgresql will take some time to execute the query
2. Postgresql will pull the features off the disk
3. Postgresql then transmits them (I'm not sure exactly how many -- it
could be all of them) to the JDBC driver, who sticks them in a Result
set
So, you would expect a pause then quick rendering.
For shapefiles, its probably pulling them off the disk one-feature-at a
time so you'd expect to see them slowly draw.
Are you using one or more FeatureTypeStyles in your SLD?
