I’m comparing the `AMQPClient` in julia vs using `pika` in python based on the tutorials provided by RabbitMQ. I notice that creating a connection with `pika` is almost instantaneous:

```julia
connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(host='localhost'))

```

but takes almost exactly 1 second i julia:

```julia
conn = connection(; virtualhost="/", host="127.0.0.1")

```

I’ve tried different settings using the `kwargs` to `connection` but can not reduce the time. Any ideas how to reduce the connection time?
