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.
