This is a bug I just experienced on one of my manjaro computers. I was puzzled as fuck because cpu/io usage wasn't high but it was pretty slow.

Maybe this will help someone.

manjaro system*

That’s funny–seeing how this was an upstream issue and Arch users also had the same problem…

Also, if you are using xorg-xinit, make sure that you copy everything from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc into your ~/.xinitrc (and replace everything from twm & with your own stuff). If you don't to this, systemd will not get $DISPLAY, leading to xdg-desktop-portals failing to work, also causing long startup times.

On Wayland, removing the xdg-desktop-portal package fixed the problem temporarily, but then don't get the desktop portal stuff (obviously)
