I think the problem is that XProtect is busy scanning the entire drive, which takes hours on an HDD (and that's even though presumably after the initial SuperDuper clone, the HDD is perfectly defragged!). I finally got the Security & Privacy pane to load by using the renice command to bump up its priority:
