[Bug]: telemetry makes the cli tool very slow

[letmutx]

Current Behavior (bug)

gelus ➜  ~ REPORTTIME=1
gelus ➜  ~ devbox global shellenv
export PATH="${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/devbox/global/current/bin${PATH+:$PATH}";
hash -r
devbox global shellenv  10.39s user 0.65s system 128% cpu 8.575 total
gelus ➜  ~ DO_NOT_TRACK=1 devbox global shellenv     # executes instantly
export PATH="${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/devbox/global/current/bin${PATH+:$PATH}";
hash -r

Expected Behavior (fix)
Telemetry doesn't slowdown the tool.

From the source code, looks like an event is sent to segment for every invocation of the command line tool, cd-ing with direnv and opening a new shell are unusably slow. Thanks for keeping the DO_NOT_TRACK flag to disable it!

Tagging @gcurtis for visibility
Hey @letmutx, tank you for reporting! I think we are planning to batch some of these requests together so that it doesn't interfere with CLI commands. Let me check on if we can include that in an upcoming release.

yeah I am not having that shell env command because the shell is slow to start up and it gives errors (but still works) on RHEL and its clones. instead I am having export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/devbox/global/current/.devbox/nix/profile/default/bin:$PATH" in ~/.bashrc

I'm doing this in my .profile to source the global shellenv lazily:

DEVBOX_PROJECT=${XDG_DATA_HOME}/devbox/global/default
DEVBOX_PROFILE=${DEVBOX_PROJECT}/.devbox/nix/profile/default
export PATH=${PATH}:${DEVBOX_PROFILE}/bin:${DEVBOX_PROFILE}/sbin

devbox() {
  (
    if [ "$1" = global ] && [ "$2" != shellenv ]; then
      eval "$(command $0 global shellenv)"
    fi
    command "$0" "$@"
  )
}

no side-effects that I've noticed so far :)

When you have crappy wifi, devbox become so annoying because of this. I use devbox with direnv integration so this becomes a huge pain when I cd in and out of devbox dirs. Just devbox version seems to make a network call
