Calling Get-SecretVault, Register-SecretVault or Unlock-SecretVault first time in a new PowerShell session takes longer.

I have been trying to troubleshoot why my script is taking longer to run and have narrowed it down to using the SecretManagement.KeePass module.

I've noticed that on first call to register, unlock and retrieve secrets takes 5+ seconds.

Within the same PowerShell session, if I unregister and re-register/unlock the vault, it executes under a second.

Not sure how to troubleshoot this further, but I was able to narrow down my script to these calls. I suspect there is something happening in the background on the first call (loading of dlls?).

Using PowerShell 7.2.1 (tried 5.1 as well) and SecretManagement.KeePass 0.9.2 on Windows 2022.

Anyone else run into this, is there a way to reduce the initial time it takes to call these commands?

Is this specific to the SecretManagement.KeePass module?
I've seem similar problems with other modules, when loading the first one in a session. I'm guessing PowerShell starts looking though all module paths when you request one.
Does it help if you call Import-Module with the full path to the module, instead of just the name?
