Bolt takes 1 minute to execcute a trivial remote command on windows

Hi, I wonder, how i can make bolt to execute simple commands faster? Currently it takes 1 minute to execute the simplest command on a remote host with winrm.

What would you recommend?

Here i test varios connection methods:

shell	connection method	execution time
cmd	winrs	1,468
powershell	winrs	13,602
powershell	Invoke-Command	16,23
powershell	bolt+winrm	67,038
cmd	ssh	1,268
powershell	ssh	13,075
cmd	bolt+ssh	47,106
powershell	bolt+ssh	56,574

I test on a windows 10 laptop (xps15 2.2 GHZ, 16GB RAM) with a local vagrant vm (windows sever core 2019).

Here is my code for illustration

PS C:\vagrant\windows2019-core> vagrant winrm -c 'echo "hi"' --shell cmd

hi

[00:10.920]PS C:\vagrant\windows2019-core> vagrant winrm -c 'Write-Host "hi"' --shell powershell

hi

[00:22.866]

PS C:\vagrant\windows2019-core> windows2019-core -r:http://localhost:55985/wsman -u:vagrant -p:vagrant 'echo "hi"'

"hi"[00:01.468]PS C:\vagrant\windows2019-core> winrs -r:http://localhost:55985/wsman -u:vagrant -p:vagrant 'powershell Write-Host "

hi"'

hi[00:13.602]

PS C:\vagrant\windows2019-core>  Invoke-Command `

>>       -ComputerName localhost `

>>       -Port 55985 `

>>       -Credential $(`

>>            ) `

>>          )`

>>       ) -ScriptBlock { Write-Host 'hi' }

hi

[00:16.230]

PS C:\vagrant\windows2019-core> bolt command run "Write-Host 'hello'" --targets winrm://localhost:55985 --no-ssl  --user vagrant --password vagrant --connect-timeout 20

Finished on localhost:

  STDOUT:

Hello,

As a new bolt user i find it quite difficult to get started because bolt takes about 1 minute to execute a simple command on a remote windows host.

The goal here is managing windows and linux nodes from a windows workstation. But with a basic command that takes that long it is hard to iteratively debug and operate.
