With the default fontconfig install, fc-cache tries to put the caches in /var/cache/fontconfig and ~/.fontconfig. Check you can write and create files in those directories. If fontconfig is in use at the time of running font-cache, it has to do some locking of the cache files. It may be more successful if you run fc-cache while nothing using fontconfig is running (eg, shut down X and run from a command window). The --really-force and --verbose options to fc-cache might give more clues. Or maybe you should look for stale lockfiles or something in those directories, or you could just try blowing those directories away completely (rm -rf) and starting over. Some problem with the fonts cache would certainly explain slow startup of xft apps.
