Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?

We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...

Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are slow to open even on an M2 Mac mini Pro with 32GB Ram. Even slower if you attempt to open them when Spotlight is indexing your drive, or within ten minutes of booting your Mac. Nothing you can do about this as it is in the lap of those product teams.

Hmmm, 2019 iMac, Numbers opens in under 2 seconds‽
