Have you got the bash-completion package installed by any chance? If
so, it's enabled by default, and it can take that long a time to
initialise. Either uninstall the package or deactivate it by deleting /
etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh. It implements advanced completion
features for command options, source control repositories, and that
sort of thing. The basic completion features e.g. for command and file
names are not affected.
