"op read" is pretty slow, ~700ms per invocation

Hi all, I've noticed that op read is pretty slow, taking on the order of 700ms per invocation. Here's a benchmark using the https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine tool: % hyperfine --warmup...

Hi 1P_SimonH​ 
Any chance to get any reasonable response from 1password team ?
There are multiple threads on this topic and I didn't see any suggestions from your team how to fix this problem.

    Hi maver1ck​,
    I shared with this with the right folks and they don't have any immediate suggestions beyond what AndyW1P​ shared about using UUIDs. This has sparked a lot of brainstorming for how we can improve this performance, though, so thank you for flagging it!

      Hi 1P_SimonH​ ,
      I checked different techniques mentioned in this and other threads and generally speaking they're not doing big difference.
      Changing from names to IDs has marginal effect as everything sit in cache.

      The problem is that debug mode doesn't show proper timestamps (or maybe I don't know how to enable them) so it's difficult to say what operation is bottleneck.
      But from output observation I would say problem lays in first two NM requests.

      time op read op://vault/OPENAI_API_KEY/password --debug
