Description
The upgrade of `eslint-plugin-import` from version` 2.26.0 to 2.31.0`(to support **_flat config_**) has resulted in **increased processing time for ESLint**, primarily due to the **import/no-cycle** rule. Included screenshot as well
```
"import/no-cycle": [
2,
{
"maxDepth": null,
"ignoreExternal": false
}
],
```
I followed this **github thread** and played with those configs(like toggling `disableScc`), but no luck. Can someone assit on this ?
