Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
It takes 6 seconds to load the program, with or without any file.
Used to using nano which loads in less than a second on my server
It would be nice to have a replacement for nano, but most of the time when I edit on ssh, I am doing multiple edit, save, exit, repeat. Is it normal to take this long for the editor to load? Is there any way to speed it up?

Research direction
Reproduce the reported startup delay on Ubuntu 20.04 in bash using micro 2.0.6 at commit 60846f5, both with and without a file. Start by comparing the two launch cases and tracing startup behavior to identify where the six seconds are spent. Done means the cause is established and an actionable performance improvement or explanation is documented.
