Describe the bug
I encounter almost crippling performance issues while using this plugin. We are using Nuxt
version 3.7.3
for the frontend and Vite as the build system.
There is nothing special from plugins which I use, in fact, I have tried disabling all of them except cypress-debugger
, yet still I have seen the tests execute at least 3x longer than they usually would.
I have tried, apart from the above, to upgrade Cypress to latest version (13.6.0), and to run the tests in headless Edge browser too.
Expected behavior
The tests should execute in a reasonable timeframe of about 6-7 minutes, which they usually do.

With the plugin enabled, this is the execution time:

command you're running)
