This paper considers the Monte Carlo dynamics of random dimer coverings of the square lattice, which can be mapped to a rough interface model. Two kinds of slow modes are identified, associated respectively with long-wavelength fluctuations of the interface height, and with slow drift (in time) of the system-wide mean height. Within a continuum theory, the longest relaxation time for either kind of mode scales as the system size N. For the real, discrete model, an exact lower bound of O(N) is placed on the relaxation time, using variational eigenfunctions corresponding to the two kinds of continuum modes.
