Yes, change the Trust depth. Anything above 2 is likely to make that page very slow to load.
Note that the Trust depth doesn't only apply to DefaultTrust, it applies to your own custom Trust list too. So you trust the inclusions of the users who are on your own Trust list and the users on their Trust lists.
See Personal Full Trust Depth viewer for all users for the large recursive implications this has. If you want an update: post there.

Uhm, from the above mentioned quote it seems I was not, perhaps, too clear. What I meant is this: I know that if I set my Trust settings to 1, 2, 3 or 4 the Trust scores of others will be shown (to me) being influenced by my Trust list and the Trust depth I set. But if I choose to see a profile by adding a ";dt" at the end of its URL, I should see its Trust score as seen by DT, correct?

And seeing that DT2 users can also influence the "real" score, I was wondering if DT3 or DT4 can influence the real score too. By "real" score I mean the score seen when adding a ";dt" at the end of the profile URL. So practically if a DT2 user gives a positive feedback to a profile, the profile's positive score appears as "+1" when seen with the ";dt" added to its URL. Does the same happen if a DT3 or DT4 user adds a positive feedback? This should not be influenced by the Trust depth you set yourself, nor by your custom Trust list, if you look at the respective profile with thew ";dt" added at the end of its URL, right...?

And regarding this part

That's normal, and as far as I know has always been this way. By default, the Trust settings use Trust depth 2.

It may have been always this way (and I am sure of this)... What I was wondering about is that it is not specified anyway that DT2 users can also influence the "real" Trust score of a user, by giving a positive / negative / neutral feedback. However, we go again to the above part: if you set the depth to any value, it should not matter when viewing the profile with the ";dt" at the end of its URL... Do I understand this part wrongfully.? Or, rather, did I explain better now what I wanted to say...?
