Selecting properties from Find-WinGetPackage may be extremely slow

[modejota]

I'm planning on developing a GUI for winget, so I've testing how to retrieve the data from the Powershell Module via JSON and CSV.

I've detected that selecting anything aside the ID and/or Name makes the command to run extremely slow. Results of a simple benchmark attached below. I've also tested it using a proper .ps1 script accessing the properties and creating objects manually with the same results.

Is it the x5 and x8/x10 slowdown normal? Is there any other way to fetch the required data significantly faster?

Sample benchmark:

Command														Exec time (ms)
-------														-------

Measure-Command { Find-WinGetPackage | Select-Object -Property Id, Name | ConvertTo-Json }			8749,9382
Measure-Command { Find-WinGetPackage | Select-Object -Property Id, Name | ConvertTo-CSV }			8422,8625
Measure-Command { Find-WinGetPackage | Select-Object -Property Id, Name, Version, Source | ConvertTo-Json }	44787,3979
Measure-Command { Find-WinGetPackage | Select-Object -Property Id, Name, Version, Source | ConvertTo-CSV }	46043,6059
Measure-Command { Find-WinGetPackage | ConvertTo-Json }								81715,9446
Measure-Command { Find-WinGetPackage | ConvertTo-CSV }								65189,4901
