LanguageModel.GetReadyState() takes 20 to over 100 seconds to run on Intel

Describe the bug

I've filed feedback https://aka.ms/AAwhb0j -- but in case anyone knows if this is an easily fixable problem.

i have a new surface laptop for business 7 and using Phi Silica is really sluggish to start up. this is seen in the AI Dev Gallery (just trying to start a text generation task -- AI APIs --> click Phi Silica, and it looks like it is stuck) and using the exported Phi Silica solution, untouched except for adding a stopwatch.

running it three times, it's taken ~110 seconds, ~20 seconds, and ~60 seconds.

Steps to reproduce the bug

    var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
    var readyState = LanguageModel.GetReadyState();
    stopwatch.Stop();
    Debug.WriteLine($"LanguageModel.GetReadyState() took {stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds} ms");

Review the linked feedback and compare repeated timings; done requires identifying a confirmed cause or actionable fix for the startup delay.
