I have a laptop and a desktop both using Debian 10 and Bitwig to host U-he VSTs and for some reason my laptop can load patches much faster even though my desktop has better hardware. I've gone through many different settings and they are nearly identical in how they are configured.
Desktop:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz
16GB 3600 MT/s DDR4 RAM
SAMSUNG SSD CM871 M.2 2280 128GB
Laptop:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8350U CPU @ 1.70GHz
16GB 2133 MT/s LPDDR3 RAM
SAMSUNG SSD 850 EVO M.2 500GB
I've tried VST3 and VST2 versions of Diva and Bazille, real time kernels, and onboard audio cards. In every case, my laptop loads them nearly instantaneously while my desktop is delayed a few seconds. How is that when is has better specs?

With reaper or it's demo as your daw, configure it to maximise cpu and thread usage in menu:
Options
preferences
buffering
Look in U-he manuals/search-engine for which plugins are open
to multi cores/threads
Crowded vs efficient drives, usb issues, lackluster internal data busses,
and different plugin versions might also be factors.
How about the speed of transferring a large file, or loading samples, playing
graphics heavy games? If speed issues across the board are apparent,
it's less likely a daw or plugin config.
Drives can be optimized for speed towards very small or very large sizes.
A Kontakt user might go for large-file-optimizing, where a synth user
might want presets optimized. Then there are wavetable synths where
some in-between sized files may get accessed a lot.
