GitHub user static-moonlight edited a comment on the discussion: Airflow cli 
response times

I'm really sorry for the confusion. I deliberately "voided" the 
`AIRFLOW__DATABASE__SQL_ALCHEMY_CONN` setting before running the `airflow 
--help` command, to see if the application is touching it. I should have 
mentioned that before.

```
$ export AIRFLOW__DATABASE__SQL_ALCHEMY_CONN=""
$ time airflow --help
```

I falsely concluded that this implies a database connection. But you are 
correct, it only means, Airflow is reading the config, nothing else.

So, I'm back to "Airflow might initializes a lot of things before it looks at 
what what it's actually supposed to do".

Just to have something I can compare to, can someone please run this command 
and tell me the time? Maybe it's normal? Maybe it's my environment? Maybe it's 
the container?

```
$ docker run --rm -it --entrypoint=bash docker.io/apache/airflow:3.2.2
airflow$ time airflow --help
```
