Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam has over the last 1-2 months started taking a ridiculous amount of time to actually appear after you try to load it. We're talking a good five minutes here.

The biggest wait time seems to be on CApplicationManagerPopulateThread, which appears to be taking almost 3 minutes by itself.

Appears to be the same across both native install and flatpak install so far.
