Why do some programs on my newly acquired computer with an NVME drive exhibit slow startup times, despite its overall fast performance? For example, Firefox 112.0 takes significantly longer to start initially, even when running a different profile from the current session. Additionally, even lightweight programs like pavucontrol, which normally launch instantly on my older systems, experience slow startup on this computer.
I'm uncertain if there's a configuration issue in the Linux setup that's causing these slowdowns. Is there a standard tool available to track the execution progress of programs until they appear on the screen and become ready for user input? Furthermore, I'm planning to utilize an equivalent of CrystalMark for Linux to assess the read speeds of the NVME drive, as it may provide insight into any potential issues.
