It happens to me also. Fresh install of Lubuntu 18.04, fully updated, on an HP Pavilion g6. Whenever the screen is locked (either manually choosing to lock it, or automatically after X amount of time without using it), it will take many seconds just to simply draw the password dialog. But if I switch to the terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F1, then back to the X-Window "terminal", it will draw a text telling me that it will take a few seconds to show me the password dialog ??!! That message then disappears into a black screen, and more than twenty seconds later, finally the password dialog shows up. The laptop was doing nothing, completely idle... this shouldn't happen.
