Not sure what I did but this is what is happening.
What is wrong here:
[demo@Manjaro ~]$ systemd-analyze blame

775ms linux-modules-cleanup.service

118ms avahi-daemon.service
106ms polkit.service
104ms flatpak-system-helper.service
99ms packagekit.service
Let me know what other info is needed.
I’m leaning to thinking the problem might have to do with my systemd mounts

[demo@Manjaro etc]$ cat /etc/hostname
Manjaro
My hosts file has allot of entries for ad blocking.
They where (likely) added to the tail end of the file
and would all point to “oblivion”.
Just the first few lines would probably suffice.

I installed thunar and it opens instantly
… and Dolphin doesn’t?
Your second terminal output shows … something,
but certainly not that (delay).
What are “apps like dolphin”?

Open dolphin in the CLI, and report back what you see.
Also give us the output from inxi -zv8 You should have done this right from the start.
as asked by..
Yes what are they?

Sorry it looks like it is just Dolphin. I thought other ones were causing issues but they are not.
Here is where you guys don’t like how my system is set up.
If after me posting this you don’t want to help , fine. I’ll figure it out myself

That is not the point at all - and no one said anything like it.
… calm down a bit?
Perhaps:
disable
and reverse
any changes to your hosts file made by:
temporarily
… just to eliminate this as a cause …
You could probably survive a few minutes or hours with just the ublock origin extension to your browser - instead of this
(I have never ever seen any ads on YT, for example … with this extension active)

I cleared out all the blocked sites and rebooted.
Made no difference.
Thanks for understanding .
I’ve been reprimanded here so many times for not doing something right or not responding as expected so I am a little defensive.
Yes.
But where is the output from running dolphin in the CLI?
You should have something similar to this.

All I see is this and dolphin launches after a little over a minute.
I will time it to be exact.
[demo@Manjaro ~]$ dolphin
I’m not sure if the systemd-hostname.service is the cause of the issue, as it only provides your machine’s host name. It doesn’t appear to have any real relationship to the /etc/hosts file:
Name
systemd-hostnamed.service, systemd-hostnamed — Daemon to control system hostname from programs
Synopsis
systemd-hostnamed.service
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-hostnamed
Description
systemd-hostnamed.service is a system service that may be used to change the system’s hostname and related machine metadata from user programs. It is automatically activated on request and terminates itself when unused.
It currently offers access to five variables:
The current hostname (Example: “dhcp-192-168-47-11”)
The static (configured) hostname (Example: “lennarts-computer”)
The pretty hostname (Example: “Lennart's Computer”)
A suitable icon name for the local host (Example: “computer-laptop”)
A chassis type (Example: “tablet”)
The static hostname is stored in /etc/hostname, see hostname(5) for more information. The pretty hostname, chassis type, and icon name are stored in /etc/machine-info, see machine-info(5) .
The tool hostnamectl(1) is a command line client to this service.
This looks (to me) like it could be the cause of dolphin being slow to open:
Does dolphin open fast if the Windows shares are removed or disabled? I’m afraid that I have no experience with cifs, but could dolphin be trying to mount and read the shared drives during start-up, and that be the cause of the issue? If the 7.2TB cifs drive is having to spin up, or the network share is having to be negotiated, when you start dolphin, that could slow things down.
One way to test could be to start dolphin a first time, and once its slow start-up has completed, close dolphin. Then, relaunch dolphin and see if it starts quickly now that the shared drives/partitions are mounted.

I was thinking it might be file system related.

Ok I timed it.
It takes 1:30 to launch and even 1:30 to change from home to Documents.
Thunar is not having any issues.
It must be some Dolphin setting.
See @scotty65 's reply above. Make those tests, then report back.
The very easiest thing to do here now is:
create a new user account - it’ll only inherit the basic defaults from /etc/skel/…
and see whether the behavior is the same there.
Just a comparison.
See where that points to …

So do I stop the service or disable it?
What tests have you made. Did you do as @scotty65 said. Did you shut dolphin down then immediately restart. Did you start another instance of dolphin, after the first was loaded.
Yes shutting down the service would help.
There is also @anon33601770 's option. But what have you done so far?

I have done everything that has been suggested.
I did close are relaunch and still the same issue.
I just went into my test user that is a new user and dolphin starts immediately.
It didn’t even connect to my wifi. I did and connected to my network drives and they started immediately also.
I will now shutdown that service and see what happens.
Thanks
It says this . If I reboot I assume it will just restart.
[demo@Manjaro ~]$ sudo systemctl stop systemd-hostnamed.service
[sudo] password for demo:
Stopping 'systemd-hostnamed.service', but its triggering units are still active:
systemd-hostnamed.socket
I will disable it and reboot and see what happens.
Not sure what this means:
[demo@Manjaro ~]$ sudo systemctl disable systemd-hostnamed.service
Disabling 'systemd-hostnamed.service', but its triggering units are still active:
systemd-hostnamed.socket
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, UpheldBy=,
Also=, or Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for
template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled or disabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having these kinds of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/, .requires/, or .upholds/ directory.
• A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.
