New description:

 There are at least two reports of fontconfig 2.9.0 slowing things down at
 startup (and also disabling some font anti-aliasing).

 Here are the relevant tickets:

  - #33752
  - #33744

 Reverting to 2.8.0 can fix the problem.

 Good luck with the fix. :)

Comment:

 made for me that went into the 2.9.0 port?
