title: google compute engine tool gcloud is exceptionally slow
body: <p>I tried downloading and using the gcloud bash tool to manage my accounts, however everything I do with the tool is exceptionally slow. It will take MINUTES to reply to a command that is typed.</p>
  <p>Is there perhaps a firewall I need to open up on my router or something else to get this to work fast like it's supposed to? For example, the &quot;Installing...&quot; lines in this video <a href="https://youtu.be/4y4-xn4Vi04?t=1m21s" rel="noreferrer">https://youtu.be/4y4-xn4Vi04?t=1m21s</a> -- you'll notice they are all complete in the tutorial within a few seconds. This takes over 10 minutes to complete on my machine.</p>
  <p>I'm on a newer Macbook Air, and all other internet/etc works really fast. I'm on a decent speed internet connection from AT&amp;T Uverse (30mbps/3mbps). All other browsing is fast and just fine, the only thing in the world I have a problem with is this gcloud tool.</p>
