I've seen this on the first boot or two of fresh cauldron installs, but 
not on later ones.  IIRC it is at least in part due to systemd timing 
out waiting for plymouth to come down.  Also, I notivce that GDM takes a 
horrific time to initialize itself, and the GUI response at the login 
panel is very choppy.  I seem to remember seeing a bug report about GDM 
pinning the CPU before it finally gets around to starting the DE.  HTH.
