Import time of the library is high

[OptimeeringBigya]

The import time of the library seems to be very high.

Steps to reproduce:

Import times with only feast installed

Create a fresh virtual environment and install feast.
Run the following python module.

from time import perf_counter
now=perf_counter()
import feast
print(perf_counter()-now)

Result: The printed run time in my case was 2.710442792000322. Already pretty high for an import of a library.
Additionally I get a warning,
None of PyTorch, TensorFlow >= 2.0, or Flax have been found. Models won't be available and only tokenizers, configuration and file/data utilities can be used.

Import times after adding TF

Install tensorflow lib.
Run the script again.

Result: Took ~3.1 seconds. Warning no longer being printed.

Import times after adding PyTorch

Install pytorch (torch).
Ran the script again.

Result: The run time went up to ~15 seconds.
Additionally, new warning is now being printed.
