If it's a Windows tablet, I've noticed that on this laptop the
Bethesda.net Launcher puts a WmiPrvSE.exe process (running as NETWORK
SERVICE) into an endless loop futzing with the tzres.dll file. This
can suck up a lot of processor time (5-30% on my system), so I've
found that after starting up the Launcher, I have to reset the
"Windows Management Instrumentation" service (in services.msc) to get
the thing to stop endlessly looping and sucking up processor time.

You reset it once, leave the Loader running, and it doesn't happen
again.

I don't have nearly those load times on this really underpowered
laptop if I reset that service, but it was really dragging when it had
that stone around its neck.

I'm currently in process troubleshooting it with Bethesda, but this
system is apparently beneath spec, so I have to wait until I have
access to my desktop to see if it's a general bug or just specific to
this laptop. They won't support this laptop (even though everything
runs just fine on it).
