i noticed my checkout file jumped from 700Kb to 10Mb!! Possibly from the addition of
```new k8s.yaml.ConfigFile("certManager", {
  file: "<https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.2.0/cert-manager.yaml>",
})```


confirming that the resource above is what caused this issue. A stack with only that set of resources already results in a checkpoint file larger than 8Mb and takes 11 minutes to make any changes

Are you using the S3 (or other filestate) backend?  If so <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/6197|https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/6197> might be contributing to this. 

yes i'm using S3. after updating all my versions the time went down drastically. thanks!
