Thanks for sending me your setup.log.full. I've extracted the timing
information for the texlive-collection-* postinstall scripts (see the
attached). I saw 5 postinstall scripts that took inordinately long
(marked with ***):
texlive-collection-fontsextra.sh
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended.sh
texlive-collection-formatsextra.sh
texlive-collection-htmlxml.sh
texlive-collection-langcjk.sh
I don't see anything in those scripts that would explain this. I just
ran them manually on my system, and the times (in minutes) were 14, 3,
2.5, 2.5, and 7. So I can't think of any explanation except that
something on your system (anti-virus or other BLODA?) was interfering.
