I think you'll find an answer in etc/PROBLEMS:
*** Emacs startup on GNU/Linux systems (and possibly other systems) is slow.
This can happen if the system is misconfigured and Emacs can't get the
full qualified domain name, FQDN. You should have your FQDN in the
/etc/hosts file, something like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
129.187.137.82 nuc04.t30.physik.tu-muenchen.de nuc04
> BTW, is it possible for init_system_name to be done async?
Could be.
