Slow query execution when using `@graphql-debugger/trace-schema`

Issue description

I'm experiencing slow query execution when using the @graphql-debugger/trace-schema package in my schema setup. My schema setup includes Nexus for defining the GraphQL schema and Prisma for database access.

Here's a simplified version of my setup:

import { makeSchema } from 'nexus'
import { paljs } from '@paljs/nexus'

import { traceSchema } from '@graphql-debugger/trace-schema'
import { ProxyAdapter } from '@graphql-debugger/adapter-proxy'

const nexusSchema = makeSchema({
  plugins: [paljs()],
  shouldExitAfterGenerateArtifacts: process.argv.includes('--nexus-typegen'),
  shouldGenerateArtifacts: process.argv.includes('--nexus-typegen'),
  types: [generatedTypes, types, GQLDate, NumberScalar, IdArray],
  outputs: {
    typegen: __dirname + '/generated/nexus.d.ts',
  },
  sourceTypes: {
    modules: [
      {
        module: '.prisma/client',
        alias: 'prisma',
      },
    ],
  },
})

const adapter = new ProxyAdapter()
export const schema = traceSchema({
  schema: nexusSchema,
  adapter,
  exporterConfig: {
    url: 'https://otlp.eu01.nr-data.net:4317/v1/traces',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'api-key': process.env.NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY as string,
    },
  },
})

Here's a simple ping query that I have defined:

import { extendType } from 'nexus'

export const ping = extendType({
  type: 'Query',
  definition(t) {
    t.field('ping', {
      type: 'String',
      async resolve() {
        return 'pong'
      },
    })
  },
})

When I remove the traceSchema wrapper and export nexusSchema directly, query execution of the ping query is fast. However, with traceSchema, query ping takes more than 1 or 2 seconds to execute (it should not take more than 20 or 30 ms to execute).

Packages version:

@graphql-debugger/adapter-proxy: 0.0.0-alpha.100 @graphql-debugger/trace-schema: 0.0.0-alpha.100 Node.js version: 20.12.2 Prisma version: 5.10.2 Nexus version: 1.3.0

Additional information:

After debugging the traceSchema function directly in the node_modules/@graphql-debugger/trace-schema/build/trace-schema.js file, I found that removing the following block of code resolves the slowness issue:

FieldDefinition: {
    enter(node) {
        const existingTraceDirective = node.directives?.find((directive) => directive.name.value === "trace");
        if (existingTraceDirective) {
            return;
        }
        const newDirectives = [
            ...(node.directives ?? []),
            {
                kind: graphql_1.Kind.DIRECTIVE,
                name: {
                    kind: graphql_1.Kind.NAME,
                    value: "trace",
                },
            },
        ];
        return {
            ...node,
            directives: newDirectives,
        };
    },
},

Please let me know if you need any further information. Thank you for your help in resolving this issue.
