🐞 Description of the bug

The run method of the composite::layup_provider_operator takes about twice as long if it runs in a docker container if compared with a local DPF server.

The issue was observed when loading the Izon Blade model

Layup provider run: 14 sec with docker, about 7 sec with in process server
Initialization of the composite model: 20 sec with docker, about 14 sec with in process server.

Note: it looks like only the update (run) of the layup provider is significantly slower between the two server modes. The other initialization steps in the composite model and also the failure analysis show a similar performance.

📝 Steps to reproduce

• Solve the izon blade model (assembly with 7 ACP parts)
• conntect to server
  • server = connect_to_or_start_server(port=<port>) # for docker
  • server = connect_to_or_start_server(ansys_path="C:\\Program Files\\ANSYS Inc\\v242") # for in progress / local
• Initialize a composite model from the solved analysis
  composite_model = CompositeModel(composite_files, server)
