I've been using asdf for awhile because it's was good and much easier than having a language version manager for every language I was using. Asdf was always pretty good, but I'd sometimes see slowness and starship (my prompt) would occasionally complain that the shims were taking too long.

As languages that I'm using are starting to adopt their own version manager (rust/go), I'm left using asdf pretty much exclusively for node and my eyes wander to some of the node-only tools like volta and fnm which use rust and I wondered if people were watching performance. Glad somebody is.
