It seems like today the issue is resolved - the same code takes half a minute.

@<1566596960691949568:profile|UpsetWalrus59> connecting the configuration creates several API calls that update it in the server - how large is ths configuration you're connecting?

Still around 8min

it has 24 parameters, but two of them are list of features so overall the yaml file has around 70 lines

I was checking my internet speed yesterday and it seemed normal, anyway it seems fine now.
