Perhaps a stupid question, but does you tree has 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/commit/?h=drm-next&id=9292f37e1f5c79400254dca46f83313488093825 
from Dave's drm-next?

If it has, it would be the 1st time that I see xrandr take longer than 
.5s with that patch on an Intel GPU. We even added a check for this into 
intel-gpu-tools to warn us if any machine takes that long, and none had 
hit it so far. So if this is the case here, there is something Mac 
Mini-specific indeed to investigate.
