cdktf synth poor performance when installed globally

[Zyntogz]

Expected Behavior

Around 15 seconds execution time for my small sample project (like cdktf synth time in poetry/pipenv venv)

Actual Behavior

Around 48 seconds execution time (when using global dependencies as non-root user)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a small Container Image containing all dependencies and install the same python dependencies
   a) globally
   b) using poetry venv
   c) using pipenv
   For ease of use, you can use this repository containing relevant snippets of our repo: https://github.com/Zyntogz/cdktf-bugreport
2. Start VS Code Dev Container (or simply the image in general)
3. Execute cdktf synth using each of the aforementioned configs
   a) time cdktf synth (for running using global python packages)
   b) time poetry run cdktf synth (for running using poetry's venv)
   c) time pipenv run cdktf synth (for running using pipenv's venv)

Anything Else?

Container is running inside a WSL not using Docker Desktop as backend, instead running natively installed docker daemon (but I don't think that's the problem here)
