Colima v0.6.5 seems really slow

Description

I've been using colima for a while and recently did a brew up/d/g and since then, seems like my vms weren't visible, I thought iT was due to some kind of changes/refactor in the config files from recent updates so I just deleted all my vms and made them again But now ... dang it takes so long, even stopping a VM takes a while, I was curious to know why and and saw that is was prompting me to watch /Users/user/.colima/_lima/colima-dev_arm_64/serial*.log to watch for the process which I did. Then I stepped upon log were it got stuck at :

...
[    0.776346] systemd[1]: Started systemd-journald.service - Journal Service.


Ubuntu 23.10 colima-devarm64 ttyAMA0

And I was wondering if it as okay or not or if there was weird behavior. today, I tried to create a simple vm : >colima start dev_arm_64 --cpu 1 --disk 10 --memory 2 and then this appeard 5 times : [hostagent] Waiting for the final requirement 1 of 1: boot scripts must have finished and then this error got thrown :

did not receive an event with the "running" status
FATA[0626] error starting vm: error at 'creating and starting': error at 'starting': exit status 1

I have also experience extremely slow colima vm since upgrading to v0.6.6. I also upgraded to macos sonoma around the same time, but i have uninstalled and reinstalled all dependencies. A vm running in aarch64 used to build one of my images in ~3 minutes. Now it takes well over 20 min, and setting vm flags like --vz-type vz does not seem to improve performance in any way. Colima is also unstable and seems to crash more frequently now.

I've actually manage to go back on versions and old onto the latest one that was working fine if somehow you're interested in it!

This should be fixed in v0.6.7

I pinned colima to 0.5.6 thx to the colima.rb history file pushed on brew because it was the last version working fine, being reliable and fast just to mention. but i hope 0.6.7 will be the catch for me.
