Steps to reproduce

1. execute crc config view
2. or execute crc config set cpus 4
3. or crc setup or crc oc-env or…
4. any crc command

Expected

A more responsive crc command and user experience.

Actual

It takes nearly 17 seconds for the crc commands to start/finish

Sometimes the crc command freezes the whole system.

After the cluster has started the whole user experience is very slow and unresponsive. Many timeouts when talking to the api internally, slow pod creation…

I know it’s all in an early stage, so no blame, just to give you some feedback.
