Extremely Slow Performance - Particularly Launch
Hi, I've managed to get Howdy setup and running on KDE on Manjaro but it seems to be running terribly slow, especially during the camera launch. For reference these are some typical post authentication results:
Starting up: 184ms
Open cam + load libs: 1373ms
Opening the camera: 1373ms
Importing recognition libs: 863ms
Searching for known face: 510ms
Total time: 2067ms
Time spent
Starting up: 190ms
Open cam + load libs: 1362ms
Opening the camera: 1362ms
Importing recognition libs: 836ms
Searching for known face: 515ms
Total time: 2067ms
Anyone know what could be causing this? I really want this to run as fast as Windows Hello does on this laptop, and I havent seen camera launch speeds this high before so I'm really not sure what's causing it. My laptop is also quite high performance so I'm really left bamboozled.
I had a search online for previous issues with speed and I found #99 but all the camera launch speeds there are nowhere near what I'm experiencing.

Similar, but mine will be faster. Maybe I used a faster SSD. I guess putting Lib in memory might make it all faster.

Debian 11 with gnome
Opening camera could be improved
