Sounds like it is possibly the notes are not actually stored on the 
iPad, so have to be re-downloaded from the iCloud servers before 
opening each time.

Try this to see if it helps:

I'm not sure how that function works. It may take a while to 
re-download all the Notes files in one go OR it may not help the first 
time you access a particular Notes file since it will have to 
re-download it, but after that it should be stored on the iPad itself 
(as well as synced to the iCloud server).
