System Settings a bit slow to load.

[Mikel Jagan]

When user clicks System Settings, there is a 7-10s delay between when the user clicks and when it shows up on the Desktop. All other applications load instantly.

Machine is using an Intel 750 Pro 400GB NVMe PCI-e Drive.

OP, can you list anything you've done since installing like additional software you may have installed or software sources added?

Can you also open Terminal and run "switchboard -d" and then copy and paste the output here?

Looks like there's a 3 second pause once it hits the power plug. Re-assigning
