I am currently running `diffusers==0.33.1` and finding that the import times of modules are super slow. For context, I am running this on an A100 GPU instance on Google Colab and this occurs when I restart a session and then import. Here’s some minimum reproducible code:

```auto
import time
start = time.time()
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
print(f"{time.time()-start:.3f}s")
9.994s

```

Is this to be expected as 10 seconds for a package import seems super long.
