cd into directory that with a .rtx.toml for the first time was very very slow

[dfang]

Describe the bug

cd into directory with .rtx.toml for the first time was very slow. next time it's very fast. I guess the problem may be due to adding the .rtx.toml to tracking files (~/.local/share/rtx/tracked_config_files/). it's not related to whether the versioned tool installed or not in .rtx.toml.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

$ mkdir -p /tmp/test1
$ wget -O /tmp/test1/.rtx.toml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dfang/ansible-role-rtx/main/.rtx.toml
$ cd /tmp/test1

time cd /tmp/xxx is not helpful on measuring here. the shell hangs for quite a few seconds

Expected behavior

very fast

I've experienced this myself and it's due to the Python virtualenv being created. Given you are using python virtualenvs I'd bet that's it.

I've thought there should be better UX are Python virtualenvs and have an issue open regarding. #634

[jdx]

yeah there should be some output when it is being created

Currently I add this export RTX_FETCH_REMOTE_VERSIONS_TIMEOUT=10ms to my .bashrc to disable the check.

but the side effect is rtx ls-remote not works for me. I have unset RTX_FETCH_REMOTE_VERSIONS_TIMEOUT before run rtx ls-remote temporarily

closing since this issue isn't specific enough
