I upgrade some month ago from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04. So MySQL upgrade from 5.7.33 to 8.0.23.
I notice after the upgrade that MySQL is slow to start.

The slowdown seems to come from the "InnoDB initialization".
The MySQL contains 70 databases (Wordpress) for development project and are not actively used.
I also notice this slowdown on 3 other servers. (but not as much and they contains less databases.)
Due to this slowdown, websites display "database connection" error during Innodb initialization.
What causes exactly this slowdown ? Is there any parameter to speed up the process ?
Edit : Actual configuration
#
# The MySQL database server configuration file.
#
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with
# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.
