I made a video with this issue in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrz0cbfJ0Sk
-I made the video with Turbo Mode disabled, but Enabling Turbo Mode doesn't help visibly. Probably an overall 15 seconds gain but not more. Also recording doesn't affect overall loading time visibly either.
-The CPU utilization is close to 0% on all AVG PC TuneUp related proceses almost all the time. CPU usage has sudden rises for up to 5 seconds right before the loading sequences end.
-I also found this opinion on the web about AVG PC TuneUp:
"AVG ruined a once cherished application… Under Windows 8.1… they install over 6 services for the AppStore which takes a considerable amount of time during launch. Windows 8.0 and other Operating Systems are not affected. I can not recommend this application for Windows 8.1 users: there are better options such as Wise Care 365."
Having Windows 8.1 I can confirm this.

Hi Alexandru-Liviu,
I have escalated your case, you should be contacted via email.
Thanks
Performance Optimizer is very slow on my Dell Vostro 2521-9566 notebook running Windows 8.1 x64. It is noticeable in all phases: when opening Start Center the PC Performance section in dashboard remains stuck at detecting status a very long time, much longer than the rest sections; after clicking the corresponding button labeled Scan Now / Fix Now / Show Details depending on the context it also takes very long time to show the interface; the interface is however very responsive when switching tabs, but it is very slow when fixing or hiding issues. It may be very well because of my laptop CPU being pretty weak (1.5 GHz), but I don't see any CPU sky-rocking in Task Manager when attempting to run Performance Optimizer. The process associated to Performance Optimizer doesn't even hit 1% CPU Usage.
