12 minutes without AGPS and 4-8min with AGPS??
I hope there was a thunderstorm inside the basement where you tested this... :)

Seriously, these just don't seem realistic.
Compare them for example with some other devices from 2003: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/ttffcomparisons.php.
Or from ublox: http://www.u-blox.com/technology/assistnow/ (table at the bottom of the page)

Surely there must be something wrong with your software/settings/hardware/environment...
(or maybe they still have a lot of work to do on the GPS :))
