[SOLVED] System sluggish after resume from suspend

Greetings,
I've recently tried putting my desktop installation to sleep (suspend) via KDE "start" menu the system is really slow after waking up.
When I try to open any application through the taskbar, desktop icon, or "start menu" it takes almost a minute to start the said program. Restarting fixes the issue but then suspending loses its purpose. I've seen someone suggest that turning off and back on swap could help so I've tried checking if this might be a swap issue but my swap partition is empty, so that didn't help.
I've already tried looking for the same issue online but the reason why people always had this problem was that cpupower kept their CPU clock low as it would be still asleep. I have the cpupower service disabled (because it was throwing errors at the startup that it cannot start) and when I check the current CPU clock after resuming from suspend the cpu clock rate is nominal. I'm really out of ideas what can be causing this issue.
Thanks in advance for your replies
Cheers
