      Description of problem:
      When a considerable number of unique-user GUI sessions are logged into a system, login/ logout can take upwards of 2 minutes as polkit performs an authorization check for packagekit, NetworkManager and boltd for every user at once.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
      polkit-0.115-15.el8.x86_64
      gnome-session-3.28.1-20.el8_8.x86_64

      How reproducible:
      Customer is able to consistently reproduce behavior.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Have a considerable number of unique-user GUI sessions active (XDMCP/VNC can be used, around 25-40 users).
      2. Attempt to login to a new session.
      3. Attempt to logout of a currently running session.

      Actual results:
      Login/Logout takes up to 2 minutes to occur.

      Expected results:
      Login/Logout should be near immediate (less than 5 seconds).

      Additional info:
      Due to the large amount of users needed to be actively logged into a GUI session on a single system, I am unable to test this myself.

      I have selected polkit-gnome as component as both gnome and polkit are involved with behavior. Please assign a different component if needed.
