datalab is very slow to respond

[OrielResearchCure]

Hi,

My datalab instance is very slow to respond. It is an instance that I am working with for few weeks.
Execution of one cell takes long. Last week there were Google Cloud issues - so I was assuming that it will be resolved. No GCP issues now and it is still very slow.
the machine is 32 vCPUs
Any advice on how to make it work?

Thanks,
Eila

Example for slow running code is
!pip --version pip
I have tried also with 64 cores machine. The issue is not resources.
The code is in a "deep" directory: content/datalab/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4
Does that suppose to effect the performance. Please let me know of any idea.
Thanks,
Eila
