All that have this behavior, please make sure that you have fully updated system.
If the slowness continues, you can try downgrading a package with e.g. eos-downgrade and see if it helps anything.
Then please report the exact version number of each package that affects the outcome.
Just a question - could it matter what terminal it is trying to open?
No delay here - but I stick to xfce4-terminal for simplicity and configurability (and drop-down).

There might be a small difference between starting various terminals.
But the difference shouldn’t be a very big one I assume.
thank you!
best result w/ KDE … so far → eos-bash-shared-1.10.41-1
I, too, seem to have this delay when opening UpdateInTerminal from the welcome menu. I had not noticed this when I use it the way I normally use it, as I have UpdateInTerminal set up as an alias to update, so I open up my terminal and just type update.
On a side note, when I went to test this on my system and I learned a valuable lesson. I learned that EOS welcome is made for bash and not dash. Yesterday I had changed my bin/sh to dash and then today it wouldn’t open. I switched it back to bash, and it works again.
Yeah, many EOS apps are made using bash. I wonder if you still can use them under dash by calling them via bash, e.g.
bash eos-welcome
bash akm
and so on, making them as dash aliases if you wish.
I made some performance optimizations to UpdateInTerminal in eos-bash-shared 1.15-1.
Please try it and report if it helps with the performance.
To be honest, I would just be confusing my self, I just switched back to bash. I honestly didn’t notice any difference. It was more of a I seen a thing on the internet and wanted to try it type of situation. When it comes to shells and scripts, I am still very much a newb.

I don’t have any delay with konsole on kde. I didn’t know what package would be the one affecting it. I suggested downgrading welcome because i wasn’t sure how UpdateinTerminal is configured. If it is part of eos-bash-shared then that makes sense. Not sure why it would be affecting only certain users.

Some recent changes concerning mostly Welcome icons were included in eos-bash-shared, and because eos-bash-shared is a common “library” for many EOS apps, the changes affected unrelated apps as well. That made some EOS apps a bit slower than before.
But the new eos-bash-shared should fix this.
There are still some more stuff to do for performance, and I’m working on it.

I haven’t noticed any issues on any of my desktops, 
Your machine is so powerful that anything runs fast!
But if you want to see performance differences, user the time command, e.g.
time UpdateInTerminal # with the old eos-bash-shared
time UpdateInTerminal # with the new eos-bash-shared
time UpdateInTerminal # with the new eos-bash-shared
real 0m6.564s
user 0m0.536s
sys 0m0.066s
time UpdateInTerminal # with the old eos-bash-shared
real 0m13.950s
user 0m0.941s
sys 0m0.149s
Edit: Never noticed before any difference.
