The latest version of Spybot-SD is not v.1.5.0. It is version 1.5.2.20. To confirm this: Open Spybot-SD: Go to HELP>ABOUT.

From the title of you post:

Spybot 1.50 seems to be alot slower than 1.41

And:

Now why is that?

Because it does more checking including Anti-rootkit scans. However, the developers (PepiMK specifically) are working on a new version (Spybot-S&D 1.6) that appears to scan several times quicker. See:
