AVP Plugin as Sidcar container | POOR Performance

[sabinayakc]

Describe the bug
We have moved to the latest argocd version and installed this plugin as a side car container. We have noticed that argocd server keeps getting stuck on refreshing. Noticed that argocd-repo-server scales to almost 5 replicas with high CPU usage.

We have around 250 apps+ and it uses hashicorp vault.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install argocd latest
2. Install avp plugin with sidecar and kustomize
3. Integrate with vault using app role
4. Deploy app with secret annotations.
5. Click on Refresh.

Expected behavior
Argocd should refresh quickly. argocd repo server shouldn't consume so much memory when avp plugin is running inside the pod as a side car container.
