I don’t know when you last tested the start-up time, but we significantly improved it in HTTPie CLI 3.0 [0]. Now it’s still slower by ~0.1s.

    $ time http --version
    3.2.2

    real 0m0.113s
    user 0m0.087s
    sys 0m0.020s



    $ time xh --version
    xh 0.18.0
    -native-tls +rustls

    real 0m0.007s
    user 0m0.002s
    sys 0m0.002s

Not for me. Printing HTTPie's version takes longer than to finish a real http request with xh. I suspect it's because I'm testing it on a relatively old server where the differences are even more pronounced.

I'm using HTTPie 3.2.1 because Arch doesn't have the latest version available but based on the release notes that shouldn't make a difference.

Gotcha. Would you mind checking if you happen to have PyOpenSSL installed inside the Python environment HTTPie runs from?

I did not have it installed. Installing it did not make a difference. If it's of any help, here's a profile generated using cProfile. [link redacted]
