Possible work around (not a fix), blacklist module i2c_i801. It works
for me ...
Since I noticed a high amount of CPU time spent in interrupt handling I looked
at /proc/interrupts (right after the slow boot and slow login):
$ cat /proc/interrupts

This lead me to the module i801_smbus which depends on i2c_i801 module (found
this out using lsmod).
Following this ~similar~ issue
(https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=254885) I decided to give
blacklisting i2c_i801 a try.
I added "module_blacklist=i2c_i801" to the kernel parameters (via edit
action in grub boot menu), and "viola!" the problem was gone.
Note: I do not fully understand the consequences of not having the
i2C_i801 and i801_smbus modules.
The ?better? way (not via kernel parameter) to blacklist the module
permanently seems to be described here

Usually if you reboot everything works fine but it's very annoying
when happens.
