Takes too long to start on non-SSD drives

Description
I've encountered this problem on 2 separate installations of Fedora 23, both on recent (last year) consumer laptops with spinning hard drives.
After boot, and logging in, the blank shell interface shows up, but it's possible to hear gnome-initial-setup start in the background (hard drives are noisy), and after waiting about 10 seconds, the interface will show up.
It doesn't look like the problem is with a timeout, or anything like that, as the hard drive sounds busy during the whole of the session startup.
If we know that gnome-initial-setup will be started, maybe we need to put gnome-shell in a particular cut-down mode, or postpone the loading of some backend tasks so that it's not possible to start using the computer while g-i-s is loading.
