Thanks for the report Alexander. This is a concerning regression indeed.
I see in the data attached by apport that you're using the chromium snap from
the beta channel.
Were you installing from the beta channel in both cases? Does switching to the
stable channel make a difference?
Could you run chromium with the following command in both
configurations, and attach the output printed in the terminal after
closing the window?
snap run --trace-exec chromium
Thanks!

Title:
[snap] On Groovy, Chromium snap takes much longer to load the first
time after reboot
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I upgraded from Focal to Groovy, and now the first launch of the
Chromium snap after a reboot is taking much longer than before. On my
main home laptop it takes over 30 seconds, while under Focal I don't
remember it taking more than 10 seconds.
I tried another computer I could erase. On Groovy that computer takes
nearly a minute to launch the Chromium snap after rebooting. Then I
clean installed Focal on the same machine, and the Chromium snap takes
just under 10 seconds to launch after a reboot. For both I installed
all updates, and I let the computer sit idle for a few minutes after
rebooting to try to rule out other activity.
I haven’t noticed the change for any other snap, although I don’t use
any that I ever noticed as much of a launch delay as Chromium. (VS
Code for one doesn’t seem slower — certainly not taking nearly a
minute — but I haven't done a real comparison like for Chromium.)
