Slow arkosctl (due to pkg_resources)

[pomarec]

Following this support discussion

arkosctl is slow due to a problem in requests that is imported line 15 in arkos/utilities/utils.py.
We are talking about ~5sec to launch any arkosctl command on a scaleway server.

See :

• requests: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/3213
• that forward the issue to setuptools: Avoid full path enumeration on import of setuptools or pkg_resources? pypa/setuptools#510

A possible workaround lies in https://github.com/ninjaaron/fast-entry_points

I can't get an proper environment to test it but i just reference a preview of the PR :

This does not seem to have any impact. And to be honest I would not understand why it would have an impact.

Hm, did you try this with the performance/timer thing you were using before? And the result was the same?

Sorry i can't remember. I'll try again when I'll get the time.
