Update: Looks like I found the root cause of the problem. I added a large number of fonts which were a number of *.otf and *.ttf to ~/.fonts and then rebuilt my font cache. This operation was very CPU intensive. After that all apps were loading with large delays. When I deleted ~/.fonts and rebuilt the cache again the apps returned to normal instant startup times.
There might be a performance issue with the loading of a large number of user fonts I'll file a bug upstream, thanks!
