Powershell GUI as exe Initial load time

I’ve been creating small apps in powershell and as i want to pass them out to people here and there they are not familiar with powershell so i use PowerGui to make it into an .exe however the initial load time is like 20 seconds to open such a small app. Both WPF/XAML and Winforms are slow to load.

I know a real language like C# would be better but in the meantime as anyone else dealt with slow load time with a ps1 is wrapped as an exe? If so what did you do to combat this?

Also curios as to what people are using to convert a ps1 to exe powergui is is just dead simple but it does require a config file which is not convenient.
