It sounds like this entry in etc/PROBLEMS
*** Emacs startup on GNU/Linux systems (and possibly other systems) is slow.
This can happen if the system is misconfigured and Emacs can't get the
full qualified domain name, FQDN. You should have your FQDN in the
/etc/hosts file, something like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
129.187.137.82 nuc04.t30.physik.tu-muenchen.de nuc04
The way to set this up may vary on non-GNU systems.
According to this message from 2014 [1] it was resolved, and the
etc/PROBLEMS entry was removed. But the entry is still there in current
master.
