When the Lubuntu ISO is first booted, quite a bit of processing power is used. Opening htop reveals that a bunch of activity related to Snap is going on. It went by too fast for me to be sure that I captured everything, but the general order of CPU hogs is:

snapd
unsquashfs
ssh-keygen
/sbin/init/splash
snap ld-2.23.so (possibly two times?)
snapd
/sbin/init/splash
snapd
apparmor
/bin/sh firefox
apparmor
unsquashfs
apparmor
snapd

The ld-2.23.so process appears to hog a lot of power for a while, as if there's some linking process or similar going on behind the scenes. The sudden appearances of apparmor and the "/bin/sh firefox" bit also are interesting.

Once all of this CPU hogging finishes, then Firefox appears in the application menu. (It might show up before then, but I know it always shows up after that.)
