I would say it's slow the application itself (it uses the Gnome Javascript interpreter), I've never noticed before but on my desktop, for example, the flatpaked Gedit is faster to start than non-flatpak gnome-characters version.

P.S. launched from a terminal, gjs start instantly tho

The AppImage is still twice as fast as the Flatpak, and three times as fast as the Snap. So it can't be the application itself, can it?

I was commenting on awelkie experience with gnome-characters, in my case (native) it's slower on starting up than the Flatpaked Gedit.

LibreOffice/OpenOffice instead, from what I can remember, I've always found it slow on startup. ^__^
