"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

Just to add further feedback on the subject, op read takes about 1s here.

shell
❯ hyperfine "op read op://vault/test/credential"
Benchmark 1: op read op://vault/test/credential
Time (mean ± σ): 961.6 ms ± 27.6 ms [User: 101.2 ms, System: 44.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 919.1 ms … 1007.0 ms 10 runs

On top of the Ansible use-case described earlier, this is also an issue for direnv variables, used to populate the shell env automatically on directory traversal. It kind of works with 1-2 secrets, but gets more and more obnoxious once you use more than that.
