I see the same behavior on my Xubuntu 14.04.1 laptop. Other peoplef report similar problems for (at least) all Xubuntu versions from 11.10 through 14.04:

I haven't tried it yet, but one reported (2013-09-18) workaround is that commenting out xubuntu from /etc/upstart-xsessions leads to normal logout and login speeds.
Also, while waiting for the logout, shutdown, or other command to actually take effect, if I try to use the logout menu again it pops up an error message saying:
Code:
Failed to run action "Log Out"
"Session manager must be in an idle state when requesting a shutdown"
Btw, doing "sudo shutdown -r now" works normally without any slowdown, so the problem does seem to be X specific.
