Hi there. Is the slowness of `pulumi stack output` a known issue - and is there any way to work around it? It takes about 20 seconds to run for me and we have ~25 output variables

(I'm comparing it to `pulumi config -j` in terms of speed)

takes me about 18s with only 1 variable, i think that is just the time it takes

I wonder why it takes that long though. It bugs me as well, since we use it in our pipelines and 20 seconds to get some variables is substantial.

maybe it does `pulumi preview` underneath (so it actually depends on the stack size and network conditions?) instead of simple lookup?

I haven’t tested that so it’s just a guess.
