Gregarius pulls all feeds in a row only when you tell it to update, so yeah, it is really slow. Online feed readers like Google Reader set scheduled jobs to update feeds according to the frequency they are updated (IIRC), and cache the results, apart from hardware/software capabilities that you don't get at a non-professional webhosting (server cluster, load balancing, whatever). That's why you don't see the lag you get with Gregarius.
I have Gregarius hosted at my domain, too, but I guess any day now I'll delete it and read everything from Google Reader. It's somewhat redundant now.
