Maemo 5 was (mostly) based on GTK2, and GTK3 so far was never running on such underpowered hardware, so you're most likely seeing plenty of bottlenecks that nobody really looked into optimizing because they weren't bottlenecking anything on hardware the devs used. It's even much snappier on the Librem 5 (which has almost three times as fast RAM as the PinePhone) without any changes whatsoever.

Also, it does take about 3-4 seconds to open the settings app on my Nokia N900 as well - it just makes it seem like it opens instantly with a splash screen that mimics the open app :)
