I ran xdvi-motif from another installation in a different disk
partition. It behaved the same way: slow starting, running mktexpk many
times, then very slow screen refresh. Running that same program while
booted from that partition, it doesn't run mktexpk (or at least does it
very fast), and screen refresh is very fast.

In addition to the LaTeX installed by Debian 10.4, I have texlive 2015
and texlive 2016 installed in my account.

Is there some kind of conflict that causes this behavior?
