Symptoms
Assume that you have SQL Server 2017 on Linux or Windows. If the database has a large number of memory optimized tables or memory optimized table types then the database recovery may take long time due to waits during compilation of the memory optimized tables. If you do a wait analysis from sys.dm_os_wait_stats, you may notice PREMPTIVE_OS_FINDFILE or PREEMPTIVE_OS_CREATEDIRECTORY wait types during recovery.
