It'd be helpful to break down the login process and see what's taking the time;
you could try, for example, explicitly running `/bin/dash` on login to see if
that speeds things up, which would point to the problem being something
bash-specific.

As a specific hint, you may want to try disabling/removing the bash-completion
package, if you have that installed.  I've noted previously that this slows
down Bash's start-up time significantly:
