I did notice a massive increase in the retainer window displaying when I got a better computer and increased my FPS, because some of it happens due to a cutscene interaction which is slowed by low FPS. But to a certain extent, there is also an animation involved - your bell going off and the retainer appearing, and even with good FPS that animation still prevents it being snappy. Often delays like this are actually just due to the game waiting for an obnoxious animation to play, one that we probably all tune out and don't pay attention to. This happens with quests too, where you will try to progress a quest conversation and it will take ages to progress due to an animation playing of you handing something over or them waving goodbye, which you can hardly see due to the camera being behind your character.

If you mean the retainer inventory window itself, that would need to wait for the server to confirm the contents of the inventory, but I don't remember that being slow really in comparison to opening a retainer.
