If only the starting is very sluggish, try running either
fc-cache -f
or (if you have a new enough version):
fc-cache -r
as root and under your normal user account

I can't find any documentation. What does the fc command do? Or where
is it documented?

fc-cache is part of fontconfig. Fontconfig handles all the fonts. It
uses caches otherwise every app will take 30secs to startup due to
fontconfig being busy reading the fonts.

Another solution I've seen is to make sure that 127.0.0.1 localhost is
in your /etc/hosts file... maybe the desktop is doing hostname lookups
and timing out or something.
