I fixed it, but......
I had the same problem. It was a full 22 seconds delay to come out of lock or screen saver. I tried fiddling around with power options, no password, no screen saver, etc. with no improvement. I finally found an updated driver for my video card, but it didn't help either. (Interesting that I have the save nVidia 6150 card that others with this same problem use.) I ultimately went back to the old driver, just because the certificate for the new one could not be validated.
Groping for ideas, I tried changing the desktop theme, and that fixed it!!! Any of the Aero themes causes the huge delay. I switched to the Windows 7 Basic theme, and the delay went away totally. Also, my boot time improved by about 1/2 minute.
The question now is, which is the lesser of two undesirable situations, the problem or the fix? Aero is definitely a nice interface, but it seems that we have to sacrifice Aero to get rid of the delay. For now, I'll stick with the non-delay and use the basic theme. But I might change my mind later.
Hope this resolves the issue for everyone else also.
