I feel we would need more logs to be sure of any pattern here. To do that, please repeat the problem and then for each slow unlock/login record the most recent system log entries:
journalctl -b0 > currentlog.txt ** Summary changed: - Login is slower the older the session + Unlocking the screen is slower the older the session ** Description changed: - Login takes several seconds after a session is a day old. Initially it is fast. + Unlocking the screen takes several seconds after a session is a day old. Initially it is fast. Closing all programs and locking/login doesn't help. Logout/login DOES help. It feels as if the time is related to the maximum RAM used.
