Ok, that looks fine. 145M is also not a lot. I do have 2G of journal data here (on SSD) though, and --list-boots is instantaneous. (Shows about 220 boots). Can you move /var/log/journal away for testing purposes (don't delete the journal files!) and create a fresh /var/log/journal directory. Then do a couple of reboots. Is the speed reasonable then? Maybe there is something specific about those journal files which break journalctl. In that case, would you be willing to share those journal files? It's probably best if you file this issue upstream https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
