Puppet user and service resources are slow on OSX

Puppet Version: 7.12.0
OS Name/Version: macOS 10.15

Desired Behavior:

Running puppet resource user root should take less than 5 seconds.

Actual Behavior:

It takes nearly 30 seconds on macOS , most of which is spent parsing XML plists. This is a large reason why acceptance tests take an hour longer on macOS (2hr 15min) as compared to redhat8 (1hr 16min)

# time puppet resource user root

user { 'root':

  ensure     => 'present',

  comment    => 'System Administrator',

  gid        => 0,

  uid        => 0,

  ...

}
