Description

When i first open VS2017 (v15.9.6) it takes a huge amount of time.
As you can see from the picture, the **average** time for loading the AWS extension is **50 seconds**. When I am lucky, it can be as fast as 20 seconds.

As a result, I had to totally uninstall the extension.

## Expected Behavior
When an extension is going to load, it should be lightning fast and delay any activity because cloud development is not the center of life.

Research direction

Reproduce the reported startup delay in Visual Studio 2017 v15.9.6 with the AWS Toolkit, using the issue's screenshot and 20–50 second timings as the baseline. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; done means startup loading is substantially faster and the result is verified in that scenario.
