[fix] Jobs starting slowly

Describe the bug

Node.js version: 18.4.0

OS version: Container-Optimized OS with containerd (cos_containerd)

Description: It took ~30 seconds to start a Job

Actual behavior

The thread/worker goes online fast, but actual code execution starts after ~30 seconds.

Expected behavior

Code execution to start within a second.

Code to reproduce

/* eslint-disable import/first */
console.log('[start-scheduled-stages] Import modules')

import { startScheduledStages } from '@fastcup/backend-common/tournaments/stages/handle/schedule-stages'
import logger from '@fastcup/backend-common/log'
import { isTournamentAutomationEnabled } from '../utils/index.js'
import { initSentry } from '../utils/sentry.js'

initSentry()

logger.info('[start-scheduled-stages] Start')
if (await isTournamentAutomationEnabled()) {
	await startScheduledStages()
} else {
	logger.warn('Tournament automation is disabled')
}

logger.info('[start-scheduled-stages] done')

Checklist

• I have searched through GitHub issues for similar issues.
• I have completely read through the README and documentation.
• I have tested my code with the latest version of Node.js and this package and confirmed it is still not working.

Is there a way to cache imports in worker_threads?

hmm interesting. One solution could be to use longer running jobs. another solution might be to reduce the size of the imports so they load faster.
