We had a “bug report” at
<https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20190624#guixsd>, which may be
due to the same issue:

  The first time I loaded Guix the boot process took an unusually long
  time.  At one point the system appeared to lock up for about five
  minutes before continuing.  In the end, from boot menu to graphical
  login screen, the start-up time totalled about ten minutes.

The author says they were running Guix in VirtualBox.  I’m glad Robert’s
bug report has more info than that one.  :-)

What should we do?

Ludo’.
