LCD Lag Time and Resetting my Camera?

I have a Nikon D60 and it takes pictures just fine but recently there has been a lag in time between when the shutter is released and when the picture comes up on the LCD. It takes a while - let's say, 5-10 seconds before the pictures come up - and the hourglass icon pops up. Please note the problem is not a long shutter release time but the time it takes after the photo is captured to when it shows up on the screen.

Can someone help me with this? It is frustrating because I don't have time to wait for the picture to come up to see if I need to change settings!

I changed the battery, reformatted the SD, and even tried resetting the entire camera but for some reason it wouldn't reset.

So I guess this is a 2 part question.

Added (1). Thanks for the harsh criticism fhotoace, but I'm not to the point that I fully understand light metering yet but that was not the point of my question, now was it? I'm sure even you, such a developed professional photographer, look at your LCD to review pictures every once in a while? How would you like it if it lagged?

Added (2). QRK --- You are So right! I totally forgot I was playing with that one day and I guess I didn't notice it was still on when I went to the menu to see what the problem was.

If you are using your cameras light meter you don't NEED to look at your LCD every time you take a shot.

You need to get to the point where you depend upon your skills as a photographer.

You do know that using your camera that way will reduce the number of shots you can take with a fully charged battery. Not using the LCD is just one good way of energy management when using your camera.

You know, that you can call Nikon and ask them? 800. NIKON-UX

This probably has something to do with your D-lighting setting. D-lighting processing adds considerable processing time, as I recall from playing with a D60. Turn D-lighting off and all should be well. Also be sure you have noise reduction turned off.
