You could try swapping SSDs and see whether these delays still happen on the "other" hardware.

I would suspect some kind of misconfiguration on the KDE system. 20 second delays could be some kind of network timeout for example. On my Kubuntu 22.04 box I don't see noticeable delays when starting applications:

(probably 200-300ms of these "real" numbers is me reacting slowly to the window popping up and pressing ALT-F4...)

Cheers,
