Description
Configuring from cache is the last configure sub-phase that was not changed to async implementation. It is usually fast but what takes time for large code bases is the logging part (when makefile.loggingLevel is higher than "Normal"). It is worth to change to async mode. For large projects, the non async-ness is notice-able during the configure from cache sub-phase.

Research direction
Start by locating the configure-from-cache operation and comparing it with the configure sub-phases that already use async implementations. Check how logging behaves at levels above "Normal" and verify that the operation remains behaviorally equivalent without blocking; done means the cache configuration path is asynchronous and large projects no longer pause during logging.
