I am getting this issue since I have moved to 8.10. I have noticed that the checking does seem to take longer and just when I think I am going to have to retype my password I get in. If it hangs on checking I can kill X with ctrl-backspace. I haven't checked if I could switch to a terminal and kill screensaver.
