I've really just started with org mode and task capture; so far I've
only used the default "todo" (t) template.

Debugging the function, the "stall" happens on the indicated line below,
the call to org-get-x-clipboard with the value 'SECONDARY

     [...]
     
	 ;; Is the link empty?  Then we do not want it...
	 (v-a (if (equal v-a "[[]]") "" v-a))
	 (clipboards (remove nil (list v-i
				       (org-get-x-clipboard 'PRIMARY)
				       (org-get-x-clipboard 'CLIPBOARD)
				 >>>   (org-get-x-clipboard 'SECONDARY)  <<<
				       v-c)))

     [...]

I've heard of primary and clipboard X11 selections, but not secondary. I
found a web post[1] suggesting it's a "near-extinct" feature.

If I comment out that line the delay vanishes.
