That doesn't sound right.
I'd restore the phone and JB it again.
I JB 5-6 devices so far on ios 8.1 and none have been doing what you're describing above when installing packages or removing them.

The only time that happened to me was when I had a repo installed that was "off".
Deleting that repo and running iCleaner fixed my issue.

It could be a repo if you added any additional repos manually.
Or a bug in your backup file that's causing it.

I don't believe its a an issue with the backup as I just jailbroke an iPad mini on another mac in the house that it is synced to and I'm also running into the long load times with install and uninstall.
Could it be an issue with pangu mac?
I just ran the cleaner and no dice--- still the hang up on loading---- I've googled everywhere has there been any issues with the Mac version of Pangu?

I'm just trying to get everything squashed and squared away with the soon released 8.1.1

I have the same issue.
Thanks for the various troubleshooting steps (that I can skip now). I jb using windows, fwiw.
I just have ignored it, thinking it was some Cydia problem.
You don't think it is but it could be a backup bug.
Only way to eliminate it out of the equation is to setup as new and install your stuff from cydia without restoring from backup to see if it still does it or not.
Up to you though.
Here's someone that had issues when restoring from backup and once he setup as new everything works fine now

Just used the iPad mini as a test dummy---same issues are present on a full clean machine
Weird.
I don't experience that issue on my ipad mini, ipad 3 or multiple iphone 6 plus models that I Jailbroke.
It is really bizarre---At least the jailbreak itself is still there and everything is functioning properly, just the inconvenience of installing or updating anything and having to wait for a prolonged period of time, but I guess its better than not having it at all.
Yes, that is weird.
That would drive me nuts each time
It did drive me insane----I finally did another restore, backed up the restored factory new image, jailbroke, backed up again and somehow this time it worked correctly.
I did all of this another mac I had at work that hasnt been used for any ios devices and it seem to do the trick. Makes no sense what so ever, but at least it worked
It's definitely longer, but are you sure it's 30-60 seconds? For me when a tweak installs, it takes about 5-10 seconds for the "reboot" or "respring" button to pop up.
It's present on EVERY device jailbroken with Pangu, so those who say it doesn't exist are either lying or just have a higher tolerance for the brief wait. I've jailbroken older iPhones, newest, etc, both in windows and on mac, and the issue is there. It's not a big deal to me because it's 5-10 seconds. If it were 30-60 seconds though, I'd be concerned.
This. my device is the same way iPhone 6. After loading, it takes about 10 to 15 seconds for the respiring device button to appear. on my iPad air 2 though its almost instant.
Looks like I spoke to soon---went back in to add my repos and something changed settings and back to the long loads... Looks like its time to do another restore
And yes it is in deed 30-60 seconds after it states reloading and switches to loading. I have a feeling I may have isolated the problem that is causing it, I'll report back once I finish this restore
It's gotta be something you're installing.
It's not doing it for everyone that jailbreaks.
Let us know if you pinpointed the culprit.

Same problem on my end, running iOS 8.1 on 5S with lots of tweaks though, but all compatible and made for iOS8. I don't take it as a problem, but it is annoying.
Alright after numerous restores the only possible explanation I can come up with is two different things.
The jailbreak before resyncing apps appears to work with almost instant loading to repspring, return to cydia, or reboot.
Upon syncing apps back to the device (I have a lot of apps part of the reason I got the 128gb) the issue become noticeable, for example trying to install multiiconmover purchased legally in cydia store, the issue is present (tweak is 8.1 compatible) for instance it took 37 seconds exactly to load to the respring option
Does anyone know where itunes stores mobileprovision files? That is the only thing I can think of that could be causing this issue now. I had a mobile provision file so I could use XBMC prior to the Pangu 8 jailbreak. I've never had any issues before with having mobileprovision on the device and jailbreaking but maybe something is different with Pangu8. I have a feeling that when I sync with itunes to reinstall my apps as a new device it is installing that provision file and that is why the issue becomes apparent after the sync.
------OR-----
Just becuase the device has a ton of apps on it is causing Cydia to slow down dramatically
