Sensitivity inside buildings is closer to the one of the Holux (good: SIRF III), than the one of the Garmin (poor: older chipset).
A few (~3) minutes after half a day _is_ the poor performance that others have reported. Modern GPS devices (including your Holux) get reliable cold fixes in about 30 seconds.

I also have an iQue 3600 and I find that it is significantly faster at cold fixes.
