We're using the compute engine InstancesClient and notice that every time we create an instance of it we spend a bunch of time in JSON.stringify as it's generating a 1.4 MB object. (This is running in a .333 vCPU cloud function.)

This is the call stack:

at GrpcClient.loadProtoJSON (/workspace/node_modules/google-gax/build/src/fallback.js:117:38)
at new InstancesClient (/workspace/node_modules/@google-cloud/compute/build/src/v1/instances_client.js:149:38)

Maybe that can be optimized somehow?
