Snapshot take more than 7000ms when "owner" field is setup

[fraxken]

Hi,

After few tests on my Windows. When i setup the field "owner" it take more than 7,000ms for the snapshot method to be achieved. I have not tested the UNIX version yet to look if this a problem only related to the Windows platform.

Code example

const { snapshot } = require("process-list");

const fieldsToRetrieve = new Set([
    "name",
    "owner"
]);

async function main() {
    console.time("exec");
    const tasks = await snapshot(...fieldsToRetrieve);
    console.timeEnd("exec");
}
main().catch(console.error);

stdout

λ node index
exec: 7939.677ms

All others fields are well retrieved !

Best Regards,
Thomas

This issue related only to Windows. Somewhere in wmi api docs I’ve seen a mention of this problem. I have no idea how to improve speed of this field.

Ok, i will take a look to optimize this (if i found something xD).
