export CM_MAX_CLIPS=100

This is in the wrong place -- you need these passed to clipmenud.

export CM_HISTLENGTH=90

There's no reason to pass this and -l to clipmenu.

You're really going to have to give more information than this, though. Please run with bash -x clipmenu and report which parts are slow.

ok Thanks i have now modifed the launcher script and also the systemd file -> i will see now !

the problem is that if i use bash -x clipmenu i not see the correct output because the CM_DIR=%h/.cache/ and with command i see a other folder :

bash -x clipmenu

+ : dmenu
+ : /run/user/1000
+ : 8
+ major_version=6
+ shopt -s nullglob
+ cache_dir=/run/user/1000/clipmenu.6.user
+ cache_file=/run/user/1000/clipmenu.6.user/line_cache
+ [[ '' == --help ]]
+ [[ '' == -h ]]
+ launcher_args=(-l "${CM_HISTLENGTH}")
+ [[ dmenu == fzf ]]
+ [[ dmenu == rofi ]]
+ [[ dmenu == rofi-script ]]
++ list_clips
++ dmenu -l 8
++ LC_ALL=C
++ sort -rnk 1
++ cut '-d ' -f2-
++ awk '!seen[$0]++'
/usr/bin/clipmenu: Zeile 42: /run/user/1000/clipmenu.6.user/line_cache: file and folder not found
+ chosen_line=
+ [[ -n '' ]]
+ exit 1

ls -la ~/.cache/clipmenu.6.user
