Describe the Bug

Whenever I open the app image, it is very slow to start. After it starts up, it is sometimes unresponsive to click or it is very slow. There are similar issues, but I think this one is unique. Please let me know if there is anything else you need.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Download the appimage
  2. Make it executable with chmod +x SimpMusic-x86_64.AppImage
  3. Extract it with ./SimpMusic-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
  4. cd into squashfs-root
  5. Run the AppRun executable with ./AppRun
  6. Try clicking on any option after it finishes starting up
Expected Behavior

It will start without an extreme delay, and the UI will be responsive (not slow).

Research direction

Reproduce the delay by extracting the AppImage and running the mentioned AppRun executable. Measure startup and click responsiveness before investigating the desktop application entry points; done means the app starts without an extreme delay and the UI responds normally to clicks.
