composer: Composer install or update takes too long

My composer.json:

{
   "require": {
    	"nesbot/carbon": "~1.18"
    }
}

When I run this command:

Both are same for update and install

Okay, so I think I found the issue. The default config for Composer is to use http://packagist.org which seems to be the issue. Even loading that site in Chrome takes literally forever with multiple timeouts. I recently change my default config to use https://repo.packagist.org/ which I found here: https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/8205 and was infinitely faster.

Simply type the command composer config --global repos.packagist composer https://repo.packagist.org to change the config. Here is the same download with that change and https://github.com/hirak/prestissimo installed.
