Never mind ... I think I figured it out. The damn thing was running Wayland. I logged in to the XFCE session using X11 and all of the symptoms have gone away.
Can I complain about Wayland like some of you complain about systemd? I have never seen Wayland work successfully.

When working at the console, the system is almost completely unresponsive. In a terminal session, any key that you press might show up a minute later. Any mouse movement might show up a minute later.
