"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...
CLI

One other odd thing is that running this on an Intel CPU is a fair bit faster. On my 2017 iMac Pro, also running Sonoma 14.4.1, I get a benchmark of ~465ms:


% hyperfine --warmup 3 "op read op://private/op-test/password"
Benchmark 1: op read op://private/op-test/password
Time (mean ± σ): 463.9 ms ± 13.0 ms [User: 126.3 ms, System: 52.9 ms]
Range (min … max): 441.7 ms … 485.8 ms 10 runs

This is a good 235ms faster than the 700ms on my 2023 MacBook Pro with an M3 Max, which is very surprising. I thought maybe it was running through emulation, but it's a native ARM binary:
