Increase in the duration of jwt.encode on version upgrade (3.0.1 -> 3.3.0)

[Tamar-Shemesh]

Hi,
I'm using jwt.encode with algorithm RS256 on my api, and since upgrading the dependencies I've noticed an increase in the call duration of jwt.encode
The duration is used to be around ~0.1 sec on average, and has increased to ~0.8 sec.

My old dependencies:

• cryptography==3.3.2
• python-jose[cryptography]==3.0.1

my new dependencies:

• cryptography==40.0.1
• python-jose[cryptography]==3.3.0

I'm not sure if the issue is at cryptography or at jose, since jose is dependent on cryptography.
I could not find anything in the change log that stood out as a cause for this, is this the expected behavior of the latest version? Any ideas on what is the cause for this change?
