I am the first who complains about slowness (see patches for "guix
search" :-)). However, I am not able to reproduce even on an older
machine equipped with spinning disks because it depends on the number
of packages living in the profiles. Therefore, the trick is to split
all the big profiles into smaller ones. See for reference:

All the best,
