Description

Hi EconML team,

I've just upgraded my EconML package to V0.15.0 and it seems like the new version runs much slower than the V0.14.0, even with one the simplest CATE estimators. For example, I've trained a linear DR model using v0.14.0 within less than 5 minutes but yet it took me hours to train the same linear DR model (i.e. all variables and datasets used remain unchanged). I wonder what has changed in the V0.15.0 that might lead to this problem?

Research direction

Start by reproducing linear DR training with the unchanged data under EconML v0.14.0 and v0.15.0, then compare the estimator paths between those releases. Done means the runtime regression is reproduced and its changed component or cause is identified.
