Big +1 from me as well ! One of the metrics we track is the speed of `airflow --help`. There is a unit test guarding it [1], but its threshold is a loose 8 seconds which is still far too slow. I think we should aim for under 1 second to improve the local quick start experience for new users.
For more context: I ran a benchmark in 3.2 while introducing the CLI-level extension [2]. Most of the time was spent on the initialization Ash mentioned above, based on the flamegraph from back then [3].
