No that's not normal at all. In the RealTracks Preferences dialog, is "Speed up generation" checked? With your system it should probably take a split second for playback to start, however if you had the setting unchecked, BIAB would be generating the whole song prior to starting playback and it would take a bit longer. Still that doesn't sound like your issue. Try closing BIAB, then duplicate the Preferences folder (in Applications\Band-in-a-Box) and name it Preferences_backup. Then, delete all the files in the Preferences folder. Now you can test playback with the factory defaults.

Did you actually try installing the program to your M1's internal HD and running it from there?
