Hello Bryce, I have tested the packages provided for update, but they don't solve the reported problem - the slowdown is similar (about 4 seconds taken by SDL to initialize). Here's a sample of the tests from before and after the update of the SDL2 packages. I also attached a list of input devices present on my system - besides the ones exposed by the laptop I'm using for testing, only a PS 4/Dualshock 4 gamepad was connected via USB.
