Genkit and Dotprompt takes over 30 seconds to load when run on Firebase functions

[nechmads]

When I deploy genkit using Firebase functions, I noticed that it takes Genkit over 30 seconds (sometimes even 50) to load.
You can clearly see it in the logs:

Is this normal? Is this the behavior we are expected to get, or is there some config we can do to improve performance?
It will make it impossible to scale, as the cost of running such long functions will be huge.
