I had a similar problem yesterday, and noticed (thanks to M-x
profiler-start/report) that (x-get-selection) was at fault. 

Unfortunately I gave up and restarted emacs (I had been downgrading a
few packages in that session, and I thought maybe there was an
inconsistency because of that).

Before giving up, I also noticed an error message:
"Timed out getting a reply from selection owner"
