I have got similar results on one of my systems (Windows XP SP2) where 
both versions of Mathematica are installed).

In[1]:=
(* Version 5.2 *)
Timing[<<DiscreteMath`Combinatorica`]

Out[1]=
{1.078 Second,Null}

In[1]:= (* Version 6.0 *)
Timing[<< Combinatorica`]

Out[1]= {7.329, Null}

Best regards,
Jean-Marc
