I've noticed I have a lot of latency right after startup and the thing which seems to help is a manual garbage collect. That's bit odd because the last thing I do in my config is set a 5 second timer which is fed a lambda to run a gc after the timer expires. Regardless, I still have better results if I run the gc manually.

I do load of metric ass ton of packages (and modes) and I recursively parse my Org/Org Roam directory for org-agenda items so I'm doing a lot of questionable things.

As others have said, sounds like we might both benefit by spending some quality time with the profiler.

As a minimal effort first attempts, I just installed XanMod kernel. If that makes a noticeable impact I will loop back here to report.
