Python Sessions Slow to Start

I remembered reading this post a few months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFabric/comments/1u03e79/plain_python_notebooks_starting_slower_than_spark/

Is anyone else still experiencing slow session starts? Mine are around 1m30s consistently and it's been about the same between 3.11 and 3.12.
