Getting the selection: Tk adds a delay?

Hi all,
I have implemented my own code for getting an X11 selection, by
registering a "SelectionNotify" event handler (through
Tk_CreateEventHandler) on a window (Tk_MainWindow(interp)), and calling
XConvertSelection on the window.
What I observe is that there is a delay in getting a selection (from 1
sec to 5 sec that I timeout).
But if I click on my window (so as the application gets the input
focus), I get the selection instantly.
Is Tk "lazy" in processing event, if the application does not have the
input focus?
