Big Sur - slow down iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)

After a missed installation of Big Sur I recovered the system via time machine. However everything is really slow - opening of Apps, Boot procedure etc.. I reinstalled Big Sur again - but still system ist still not in performance *** it was before the update. Any help from the community what to do?
