cinnamon - slow boot up times

[Thomas Anderson <thomas.anderson@little-beak.com>]

Hello,

I have Bullseye installed on an SSD, it boots up fast as expected up 
until the login screen.

I enter my login credentials...then, queue the music...just a darker 
screen (not pitch black, flickering, or anything bad)

42 seconds later I get my desktop.

I do have a Cinnamon desktop environment with a custom theme setup...but 
still, 42 seconds? Can that be right? I have thought about using Mint, 
but I have been using Debian for 20 years, see no reason to change now. 
If need be, I will wait 42 seconds.
