Connect start up - permission check

During a restart systemctl restart rstudio-connect there's a 3 minute long pause while this ownership check occurs:

time="2023-05-11T06:30:43.608Z" level=info msg="Application directory ownership and permissions check: starting"
time="2023-05-11T06:33:57.900Z" level=info msg="Application directory ownership and permissions check: complete"

I think this step is getting slower as we get more deployments and content on our EFS drive containing our Connect data.

Does anyone have any tips about how to speed it up? Or maybe how to get it off the restart path?
