Noticeably reduced performance with version 2

## Bug report for Cloudinary PHP SDK
Before proceeding, please update to latest version and test if the issue persists

## Describe the bug in a sentence or two.
After upgrading to the new PHP SDK (from 1.x to 2.x) I noticed our 50th percentile drop considerably. I isolated the change and reverted back to 1.x and saw my response times go back to where they were previously. Unfortunately New Relic wasn't running correctly so I didn't manage to capture any better metrics.


I've opened this issue to see if anyone else has noticed similar issues. I would not have expected simply upgrading Cloudinary to have an a noticeable impact on response time. Additionally - we only use the PHP SDK for URL generation, not for uploading assets or anything, so it should be pretty negligible.
