Huge backlog for background checks is what I've seen. They shouldn't be needed for most jobs, but I bet those used to be ran by smaller firms and the backlog is due to the 3 remaining background check companies in the US being slower because it's more profitable somehow.
I've had background checks that were just name searches in a database. Wouldn't be surprised if they offer upcharged delays so that you can feel comfortable assuming they must be doing a lot of work.
