Hi chuckwolber​ & supercoder​ ,

Thanks for writing in and sharing your concern. 

Could you share more details about the timing issues? How long are you waiting, and what setup are you using? It’ll help us identify any bottlenecks and better understand what you’re trying to achieve.

A note about the CLI and Caches:

The 1Password CLI caches items on Mac and Linux systems (not available on Windows). What it does not cache is the authentication to unlock 1Password.  You are seeing these calls.  After that you'll see the cache being accessed. (learn more here)

Finally, we recently introduced a the 1Password SDK for more performant requirements. Take a peek, this may help.

Thanks!
Phil
