Is it normal for the environment activation to take more than 10 minutes using `@everywhere`?

In my case, all processes are on the same machine.  
They all activate the same environment.

When doing this in an interactive shell the environment activates in a few seconds.

Is there a good site to find tricks and patterns for distributed computing in julia?
