In some cases CLI will try to obtain some values from the CA for
display of help, like certificate names, CA names etc. This is the main
reason CLI connects to running EJBCA.

As for slowness/speed, I've noticed myself that first run of CLI tools
after JBoss has been restarted might take a bit more time, while
subsequent runs seems to be much faster.

One thing to think about would be perhaps reverse DNS (if anything does
DNS lookups when using CLI, which I kind of doubt).
