ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

On my XFS+HDD 4 out 10 tries, konsole takes ~1 second to load and 6 out 10 it takes around ~450ms.

On XFS+SSD it takes under 300ms always. Also tested on old PC who's HDD is slower than mine and its takes around 300ms there too. It looks like this problem is unique to XFS+HDD
