I have not done any tests but my BT500 seems to attach pretty quickly  
after sleep.  However, I rarely sleep the G5 and my memory may not be  
that great.

It does take a while at boot time to start working, and I get the  
message that it found a USB mouse while my Apple BT mouse (older one  
button version) gets picked up right away.  So I suspect that the  
machine is looking for an Apple Wireless mouse first and then looks  
for generic ones when it doesn't find one.  I suspect that is what  
you are seeing also when awaking from sleep.
