Why my Ionic CLI commands are a lot slower than Cordova?

I'm using ionic 2.0.0-beta.37, cordova 6.2.0 and node 6.2.0 on OSX 10.11.4

cordova platform list | time ionic platform list

real  0m19.449s       |    real   1m16.809s
user  0m0.890s        |    user   0m2.711s
sys   0m0.166s        |    sys    0m0.685s

cordova plugin list | ionic plugin list

real  0m0.587s        |    real   0m41.768s
user  0m0.503s        |    user   0m2.362s
sys   0m0.055s        |    sys    0m0.891s

I was also facing speed issue when i do ionic serve, tried disabling live reload, not much helpful.

I found this answer on ionic forum, I do notice some speed improvement while doing ionic serve

Try doing npm rebuild node-sass

I am by no means a shell expert but of course, they will always be slower. The Ionic CLI is using the Cordova commands behind the scene. This is why when you want to build you will need Cordova installed to have the CLI commands like BUILD to work.

Also Ionic uses this opportunity to build your latest source code first well in V2 at least with the build tools like Gulp and then goes on to do the normal Cordova stuff. So yes it should always be slower but shouldn't be a concern at all.
