I think this might be caused by pam_gnome_keyring. Does it still happen
if you comment the related line in /etc/pam.d/gdm?

If this is actually the case, I don’t have any magical recipe to fix
this. There is no way to know that an optional PAM module is being
executed. You might want to profile the load of this module to find out
what takes so much time.
