anything like bootchart for login?

My fedora 27 laptop used to login very quickly. Now it gets to a blank screen and pauses there for 1-2 minutes. I don't think the pause is due to anything in my start up scripts ~/.profile and ~/.kshrc. I checked this in two ways. First was commenting out large blocks of the executable code in
