[IMPROVE] sdk import takes long time to complete

[andycjw]

What's the feature that should be improved? from openbb_terminal.sdk import openbb should not take this long

Describe how you would like the feature improved load faster

Possibly describe the ideal way to improve this find out what is causing the delay

Additional information this is the output from cprofile.run("from openbb_terminal.sdk import openbb") it takes almost 1 minute on my laptop to just import openbb

I see two major culprit, one is openbb sdk itself, another is statsmodels.api

using python -X importtime -c "from openbb_terminal.sdk import openbb" with tuna to visualize the import time
