title: conda install slows down 2-3x intermittently
body: <p>Newbie to conda.</p>
  
  <p>We have a build system that uses <code>conda install</code>. We have noticed that the <code>conda install</code> slows down about 4x intermittently (<a href="https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9768" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9768</a>).</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for pointers to debug as well any fixes/tuning we should perform if this is a known issue.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,
  Kiran</p>
