I discovered why “loading cache” wasa taking so long in Obsidian startup process on my computer: it was the “frontamatter links” plugin. Even if that not your case, the method I discovered might be useful for others: (1) Go to the .obsidian folder inside a vault (attention, this is not the .obsidian folder that rests besides all your vaults folder); (2) make a copy of the folder, delete it and start obsidian; (3) checkout if the app is starting normally; it will recreate the folder .obsidian with the most basic arquives; (4) start replacing/adding the original files one by one to the .obsidian folder, until you find the one causing the problem.
