Slow boot on Fedora 24

Last week, I installed Fedora 24. Previously, on the same computer, I was using Fedora 22 (Fedora 24 is a clean installation, not a package upgrade).

What surprised me is that Fedora 24 is booting really slow in comparison with 22. The installation is/was the default one - I haven't changed anything in the system configuration. See the ouput of systemd-analyze:

Startup finished in 1.329s (kernel) + 4.189s (initrd) + 1min 31.811s (userspace) = 1min 37.330s

I don't know how much time Fedora 22 was taking but I am pretty sure it was under 30 seconds...

Now see what systemd-analyze blame says:

Could you please help me to find out the problem and fix it? I don't know what should I check now... but I don't think that some of the values above are normal.

UPDATE: I updated systemd-analyze output for a case when I try to enter the passwords really, really fast, without any delay.

UPDATE 2: I would like to add that the booting screen looks fine to some point. After I type the encryption passwords, the white logo (which is some kind of progress bar) is displayed for some time and then it switches to normal Fedora logo and that is displayed for a minute

UPDATE 3: My journalctl -b output is here: http://pastebin.com/vjZypBz0

You are using encrypted partitions? – Jakuje – 2016-07-16T09:57:28.427

Yes. These are logical volumes. (I have quite complicated structure for a desktop - two physical disks with two volume groups and some physical partitions... However, I was running the same on Fedora 22.) – pecka – 2016-07-16T10:12:58.783
