getgauge
load_files method taking 40+ seconds
The load step implemenations step is taking a long time in when we moved from python 3.7.9 to 3.9.9. About 30 extra seconds on this single method. We used getgauge 0.3.9 for Python 3.7.9 and now are using getgauge 0.3.17. We also moved from Gauge 1.0.7 n Python 3.7.9 to Gauge 1.4.2. All the step implementation files remain the same.
Seems that the parser method is taking the longer time: https://github.com/getgauge/gauge-python/blob/eee95574e447c4bd180699b8017abd5b13a4a126/getgauge/parser.py#L8
About 2 seconds per .py file in step_impl folder
Closing as stale, please comment if this is still an issue in later pythons/gauge-pythons.
